Convection is nothing to do with gravity. As long as there is air to be transfered heat, convection takes place. Gravity pulls the air. If there is no gravity, there is no air and the convection also never happens. the density of air is lower in zero g, which interns to oversize the water doplet volume and the overall relative humidity ratio within the droplet boundary maintains.
