This is an outstanding question. On the atomic and molecular scale rotation tends to determine the spherical shape. Molecules do tend to organize in a spherical manner on a large scale as rain drops. However, should the raindrop grow too large as it falls neck instability tends to give it a barbell shape in which it will break into more than one sphere.

But besides rotation for planets they tend to "organize" around a center of mass and gravitational forces are at work here. I welcome additional comments on this subject.
