Gravity for starters. Also, one must consider that water on glass has a coefficient of friction that is very low, therefore causing it to flow very freely to the lowest point.
I have something to add to this.
It is gravity, but its the viscosity level that makes water fill the bottom of the glass.

What is a aqueous bulge?
An aqueous bulge is a bulge that occurs in water. There is one on each side of the earth, one facing the moon and the other facing away from the moon, causing tides to occur.
What is the water droplets on the side of the glass called?
Condensation
It is not ideal to put boiling water on a drinking glass since it may break. Is it true Why or why not?
When you pour hot water in a glass, the inner side of glass expands due to heat energy while outer side is relatively cooler. Due to this effect the pressure is developed and cracking of glass occur
How do you fill a glass with water on runescape?
fountain+glass=water in glass

What effect of the earth-moon system causes the water bulge on the side of the earth farthest from the moon?
The moon's gravity attracts the water.
Why doesn't soapy water bulge from the sides of a glass?
Water, as other liquids, has "surface tension" which tries to pull the water into the smallest volume. When put into a glass the surface of the water behaves as if it has a skin. However, that part around the circumference of the glass where the water touches the glass tries to climb the glass, so creating a "meniscus". If you add soap to water its surface tension is greatly reduced so it is less able to form a curved upwards meniscus where it meets the glass.
What is the water droplets on the side of the glass called?
Condensation
What is a bulge in water?
seamount
When water is formed on the side of a glass it is called?
i believe its called condensation
What is a tidal budge?
A Tidal Bulge is a high tide. It is a bulge of water on the side of the earth under the moon, and it is caused by the moon's gravity attracting the water. There is a similar bulge on the opposite side of the earth, away from the moon, to counterbalance the moon bulge. The areas between the two bulges experience low tide.
