Gravity does affect the shape and size of a soap bubble. From the top of my head, an air-borne bubble's surface would have higher density at the bottom (part facing ground).

In reality, a bubble is never a perfect sphere and is always heavier at the bottom. If you blow a big bubble and look at it closely, you would likely notice a slight dimp at the bottom of the sphere aka the excess liquid which has accumulated at the bottom due to gravity. This affects the shape of the bubble as the weight of the excess liquid pulls down on the surface area of the sphere.

What are inside air bubbles e.g the ones you blow?

there is vacuum inside the air bubble. since air bubles are formed on the principle of marangoni's Theorem ( surface tension), the water molecules aquire the spherical shape of the bubbles quickly, leaving no air inside the bubble..... the air bubbles or the soap bubbles are used to solve many space and gravity related problems... i hope i have provided u with the correct solution....
