Surface tension. It is caused by cohesion, or that molecules tend to feel attracted to like molecules.
Water droplet is spherical when water is thrown in air because of surface tension in water molecules which forces it to assume the smallest shape possible.
One is the liquid's surface tension. A drop of water will be quite spherical because is has strong surface tension, meaning the edges of the droplet are drawn into the centre. Another factor could be the speed with which the drop falls, as the air particles will have to be pushed apart quicker, making the droplet more streamlines, therefore less spherical.
Surface tension causes molecules to hold to themselves more tightly. Therefore high surface tension liquids, like pure water, will form a taller drop and low surface tension substances, like oil, will spread out and be flat.

Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
The reason mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.
A water drop is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules tend to stick to each other.
It is due to surface tension. Surface tension is only for liquids. Due to surface tension surface energy is to be minimized only reducing the area. For a given volume sphere has minimum surface area. Hence spherical shape.

Liquids tend to form spherical droplets because of surface tension. There is energy associated with the surface tension, and since a sphere has the minimum surface to volume ratio, it has the minimum surface tension related energy for a given amount of liquid. (It is a general principle in physics that things tend toward a minimum energy state.)
The reason any droplet is spherical is due to the surface area to volume ratio. A sphere is the shape with the smallest surface area to volume ratio, as opposed to a square or triangle. Larger ones are affected by the weight and normal forces which exceed the ability of the surface tension to keep the drop in spherical shape. In a zero gravity environment all droplets would be spherical. The minimization of surface area to volume ratio is also the reason rain drops are tear shaped (surface tension counteracted by drag force on the drop).
rain drop is spherical since the surface tension of sphere is less when compared to other shapes.

Its the same reason as to why every other heavenly body is spherical in shape. its because any rotating body in order to conserve energy takes the shape involving least tension and hence your planets, moons are spherical in shape.
