The spherical shape is the smallest surface area for a given volume. This comes about naturally when a surface under pure surface tension contains a fluid volume.

How do you calculate an area of a the earth if diameter is 12700km?
The area of any sphere is (4 pi) times (Radius)2. It doesn't matter whether it's a planet or a spherical bubble gum. You ought to be able to handle that.
Are human eyes spherical or oval in shape?
They are not spherical
Is spherical geometry a form of euclidean?
No, both spherical and hyperbolic geometries are noneuclidian.
What are applications of spherical geometry?
Pilots and captains of ship use spherical geometry to navigate their working wheel to move it. They can measure their pathway and destiny by using Spherical Geometry.
Why does spherical trigonometry important?
The earth, which we live on, is approximately a sphere. It is important, therefore, to know spherical trigonometry.
Why would water form nearly spherical drops onboard the space shuttle or an orbiting space station?
Its surface tension hold it in a logical shape (why is a bubble spherical?)
Can you blow a bubble that is cubed shaped?
Unfortunately not. Due to the even distribution of gravity against the membrane of the bubble, it always maintains an almost perfect spherical shape.
When a scuba diver dives into water why are the gas bubbles they release always spherical?
The gas bubbles exhaled by a SCUBA diver are always spherical for two reasons: the gas molecules are pushing outward from the bubble in all directions with the same amount of force. In addition, the water outside the gas bubble is squeezing the bubble inward in all directions with the same amount of force.
Do square bubbles exist?
Square bubbles are impossible because the pressure inside the bubble is pressing out equaly. That is why they are spherical.
How come bubble is round?
Bubbles are "generally" round due to the air pressure acting equally on them from all points around the outside of the bubble. A bubble is round as it is the most energy efficient configuration. The spherical shape also maximizes the ratio of the volume to the surface area.
How many syllable in spherical?
spherical
A spherical or nearly spherical bacterium?
coccus
Does a broken piece of a spherical mirror works as another spherical mirror?
Yes, spherical mirror is the part of a spherical reflecting surface.when it is broken the broken piece is also the part of the spherical reflecting surface.

How does this demonstrate that earth is spherical?
WHAT demonstrates that the Earth is spherical?!
Are human eyes spherical or oval in shape?
They are not spherical
Why is the nucleus a circle?
Some clarification in your question would be desirable, for you could be asking about the nucleus of an atom or the nucleus of a Eukaryotic cell. The simple answer for both is to relate it to a soap bubble (free floating). They are a circle (sphere) for the same reason that a bubble ultimately forms a sphere. The sphere is the shape with the largest volume to surface area ratio, i.e. the shape with the least amount of expended energy to hold (in that shape). The more complicated answer is that a cellular nucleus is not always a perfect sphere, it is maleable, but just like the soap bubble, given no outside influence, it will rebound into a more or less spherical shape. An atomic nucleus is represented as a sphere for roughly the same reason, i.e. conservation of energy. Restraints on the spherical nature would be the type of atom, and whether or not the protons and neutrons are balanced in number. Nevertheless, it will hold a more or less spherical shape.
