Why are bombs, the ones dropped from airplanes, shaped like an oval with fins on one end? Why aren’t they spheres so they just fall down onto the target?

A pointy oval has a lot less aerodynamic drag. And that matters if you’re dragging them around attached to a plane.
An oval with fins also tends to fall in a nice predictable path. Spheres kinda just go wherever they want.
