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 soap bubbles?

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.

How did gravity affect the earth shape during earth's formation?

earth's shape is influenced by gravity because gravity will pull the objects in space together forming a sphere


Why does liquid take the shape of a sphere when in zero gravity?

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.

Does no definite shape have anything to do with solid liquid or gas?

Liquids and gases have no definite shape.


Why gases have no definite shape?

Solid, liquid, gas. Even liquids don't have a shape. Gases are much too thin and slippery.


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


Why is the world a sphere?

Gravity pulls with equal strength in all directions; therefore any variations from a spherical shape will lead to gravitational forces that bring the shape back into that of a sphere.
