No matter how much water there is a water droplet stays the same size. Is this something to do with gravity. Once the water droplet gats too heavy the is too much force for it to continue hanging and it falls. It’s just got me bamboozled.

Water droplets form because of surface tension. Because of this, they can continue to suck up water and get bigger. You are correct that gravity affects water droplets. Surface tension keeps the droplet secure to a surface. When the mass of a droplet gets big enough, the gravity acting on it is more than the force of the surface tension.
