Are the sun and planets round?

Yes!!!! The correct term is "spherical", which means round in all dimensions like a ball. (A hoop is round, but is not spherical) Stars and planets are not perfect spheres, but they are very close to perfect spheres.


What shape is the earth and moon?

Spherical. They are approximately spheres. The earth is more of an oblate sphere, a squashed sphere - this is due to its spin.


Is the planet Venus spherical?

Yes, all planets are spherical. They all have a slight bulge at the equator due to rotation, but are almost perfect spheres.

Why is Mercury spherical?

The reason Mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.


Why do slightly non spherical particles aspect ratio 1.03 pack denser than perfectly spherical particles?

A sphere cannot "tile" with other spheres as well as, for example, a cube can with other cubes. This results in more empty space between the particles, and therefore a lower density. Also, there's no such thing as a "perfect" sphere, or circle.


What is the study of spheres and cylinders in math called?

Spheres and cylinders are studied in geometry. In fact there is a geometry that just deals with spheres called spherical geometry. Imagine living on a sphere ( you almost do) compared to living on a plane. Some geometric postulates must be modified for this.There is a geometry of living on the surface of a cylinder too.
