Does water always find it's level? If so then why are dewdrops round and not flattened out? Because it's own gravity forms a "globe" shape. Any object in zero gravity form a globe because of it's own gravity.
If you threw a bunch of water out in space guess what shape it would form. Not all splattered out flat that's for sure.

You must be a scientist to know these type of things.
What do you do for a living?
Surface tension of the water molecules
@darkpurplelight - when you put dishwasher into water, it breaks the water surface tension, leaving water flat again
the ratio that you are talking about would not keep any small object together because it needs a relatively high mass in order for it to have a little pull.
In other words, droplets are way to light
Then why are droplets round and not all flat and splattered out?
Same reason the Earth is round!
