Water

I am three.

I have three forms (vapor, liquid, ice).

One of me can make it a challenge to see.

Vapor form.

One of me can be soft.. if I am not hard.

Water in its frozen state can be soft as snow or hard as ice.

Normally, I am spherical, unless something touches me.

In space, water is spherical. Only when touched by gravity or a container does it take another form.

You touch me everyday.

You wash you hands at least once a day, don't you? Even if you don't, your lips touch water, even if it is Coca-cola. Even breathing can count as touching water.

  • $\begingroup$ for some reason I had found the answer but I tried to make "snowball" fit into the "spherical" clue and it didn't really made any sense $\endgroup$ Feb 16, 2015 at 15:42
  • $\begingroup$ "I am three" can also refer to the base elements- 2 Hydrogen, 1 Oxygen $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ There's also "soft [solution]" and "hard [solution]" as concepts $\endgroup$ Feb 16, 2015 at 23:29
  • $\begingroup$ FYI Even under gravity water drops are spherical. Falling water does not form the classical 'teardrop' shape. $\endgroup$
