When sufficient material coalesce (clump together) in space, the favored shape is a sphere.
With asteroids & comets, there is usually insufficient mass to form a spherical shape due to gravity. This is why such objects can have a variety of shapes, like that of a potato or even craggy stalactite-like formations.
If such objects obtain enough mass, the mutual attraction of gravity will cause them to assume a spherical shape.
To be 100% accurate, planets like Mars, Earth, Jupiter, etc..., are generally spherical in shape, but would be better described as an "oblate spheroid," or a slightly, flattened sphere.
Due to the rotation of a planet on its axis, the equatorial diameter is usually a little greater than the north-south diameter. This rotation imparts a (very) slight centrifugal force, which would be greatest at the equator.
Mars has a red apperance. It is known as the Red Planet.
I think Mars has enough gravity to compact itself into a round shape and Mars is the color red. Though, I don't know what specific color of red it is.
Bright and orange-red with vocanos.
a feakin circle
Mars has two moons.
Mars has two moons: Phobos and Deimos.
There are 2 moons rotating around mars, Phobis and Demis
The planet with two moons is Mars. The moons are called Phobos and Deimos.
No. Io is one of the four major moons of Jupiter. The moons of Mars are Phobos and Deimos.
They are spheres/spheroids like any other astronomic body.
No because Mars has no moons
