Which planets has more of a spherical shape?
There are two planets with an almost perfectly spherical shape. They are Mercury and Venus.
What shape is the planet mercury?
Spherical
Does liquid have unfixed shape?
No, liquids do not have a fixed shape. They take the shape of the container they are in.
Is the volume and shape of mercury at 28 Celsius either definite or indefinite?
The volume of mercury at 28 degrees Celsius is definite, meaning it is a specific and fixed value. However, the shape of mercury can change as it is a liquid, so it does not have a specific shape. It takes the shape of its container.
Is Mercury perfectly round?
Mercury is definitely not perfectly round. All of our photos of Mercury show that it's covered in craters which cause ridges to form all over the planet. This means that it's not perfectly round.

What shape is the planet mercury?
Spherical
What is the shape and size of Mercury?
Mercury is a kind of liquid. Because it is a kind of liquid, we cannot figure out the shape and size of Mercury.
What shape is a liquid at room temperature?
Shape of liquid at at any temperature, under no externally applied force, is spherical.
What property of the nucleus likens it to a liquid drop?
Both are spherical in shape.
Is mercurys shape a marble?
A marble has a spherical shape, and so has Mercury. But Mercury is a bit flattened at the poles, which a marble is not, so a marble is a more perfect sphere.
What is the state of water at zero pascal?
It's still a liquid but it will have a spherical shape.
Does liquid have unfixed shape?
No, liquids do not have a fixed shape. They take the shape of the container they are in.
What object is least likely to have a spherical shape?
Mercury has about the most perfectly spherical shape, but Saturn has the leastspherical shape (next least spherical is Jupiter).
Does mercury change size and shape?
The element mercury can change size and shape. It is often referred to as liquid silver or water silver because of its water -like flow.
