All matter has some infinitismal amount of gravitational pull, by virtue of having mass. That means that, if nothing else heavier is around, liquid will be attracted to itself in zero gravity. Also, liquid naturally has surface tension, meaning that it is reluction to break apart the loose atom-to-atom bonds that hold the mass together. Therefore, they stick together, and, with lack of any other force to act on the liquid, it brings itself as close together as possible, creating the shape of a sphere.

Why do planets take on a spherical shape?
Every planet has a center of gravity, anda sphere is the mostgravitationally stable shape for a planet to have.
Why does liquid take the shape of a sphere when in zero gravity and gases does not?
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.
How does gravity affect the shape of a soap bubble?
Gravity affects the shape of soap bubbles by dragging them towards the ground. When a bubble forms, gravity causes water to collect at the lowest, centermost point of the bubble which is what allows the globular shape of the bubble to form
How is water able to take the shape of the bottom of the container it is stored in?
Water is a liquid, and its molecules move around freely, but still must respond to gravity. The molecules in liquid water do not have the ability to hold a shape by rigidly clinging to each other, so the liquid will take the shape of its container.
Why can liquid take the shape of the bottom of its container?
as there are less inter molecular space between them they do not have a definite shape and so the liquids do not have any shape so if we pore it to any container it takes the shape of the container.

What does liquid take the shape of?
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Why does liquid water take the shape of a sphere?
Liquid water tends to form spherical droplets due to surface tension, which minimizes the surface area of the water droplet. This results in a spherical shape, as it has the smallest surface area for a given volume of water.
Does a liquid have a define shape?
Usually, a liquid does not have a predetermined or definite shape. It will take on the shape of the container it is in or surface it is on.The only extenuating circumstance is during free-fall, or where there is negligible or no gravity - it will be become almost spherical, held together by surface tension.
Is the shape of rainrops same as that of teardrops?
When falling, liquid droplets of any kind tend to take on the shape of round at the bottom and pointed at the top (like a Hershy's kiss) due to gravity.
The shape of a liquid depends upon its?
The shape of a liquid is determined by the container in which it is placed. Liquids take the shape of their container because their particles are able to flow and move around freely, allowing them to conform to the shape of the container.
Does liquid have an indefinite shape?
yes; a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container.
What shape does each planet take?
A planet is said to be in `hydrostatic equilibrium, its shape is formed roughly into a sphere by its own gravity. Most planets rotate enough for the sphere to flatten out ever so slightly, squashed at the centre, so really they are `oblate spheroids`.
