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.
earth's shape is influenced by gravity because gravity will pull the objects in space together forming a sphere
Every planet has a center of gravity, anda sphere is the mostgravitationally stable shape for a planet to have.
Yes; Solids have definite volume and shapes. Gases have indefinite volume and shapes. Liquids have definite volume, indefinite shape.
Shaving foam is a Liquid, it has a definite volume, but no definite shape. Solids have definite shape and gases have indefinite volume

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.
If they are suspended in a room with nothing in it and no gravity, then their natral shape will be obvious- it is a sphere.

The location of an object's center of gravity depends on the object's shape, and on how its mass is distributed throughout its shape, but not on its size. The center of gravity of a homogeneous sphere is at the center of the sphere, no matter whether the sphere's radius is 1 millimeter or 1 light year.

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.
"Gravity pulls the stars and planets into the shape of a sphere." "The Chinese sphere of influence extends to Europe, Africa, and the US.

Solid, liquid, gas. Even liquids don't have a shape. Gases are much too thin and slippery.
Liquids and gases have no definite shape.
