Not all Planets are round. Some dwarf planets are not round
Round is a good shape. The force of gravity collapses matter into a spherical shape, once there is enough of it. Small bodies of normal solid matter less than a hundred miles across lack sufficient mass to pull them into a spherical shape.

Planets are not round. They are spheres. They form this shape because the force of gravity works the same in all directions and it represents the lowest energy state of the body of matter. Although planets can be considered spheres they are not perfect, since they bulge at their equator due to centripetal force of rotation. They also may distort in shape due to other celestial bodies around them.

What do planets do when they orbit the earth?
There are no planets orbiting the Earth because all eight of them orbit the Sun. But the Moon orbits the Earth, and all it does is go round and round in a rather complicated orbit which is disturbed by the Sun's gravity.
Why are the dwarf planets round?
because of the gravity of the other planets around them
What are all planets circumferences?
The circumference of a planet is the distance round their widest part. On earth, it is measured round the equator.
Where are the four Jovian planets located?
They are the four large moons, discovered by Galileo, that go round Jupiter.
Where do planets travel?
Planets travel round the Sun, but all orbit in different speed and length.For example;Earth: Orbit round the Sun=364 1/4 daysNeptune: Orbit round the Sun= 164 years 288 daysSaturn: Orbit round the Sun= 29 years 167 days
What shape are sun earth and other planets?
They would be considered as 'spherical' celestial bodies. round
How many days moons take to round of the earth?
Our moon requires 27.3 days to orbit the earth. No other moon orbits our earth--they orbit other planets.
How many times does the sun go around?
it doesn't - the earth and other planets go round the sun
If Earth is round how can it be tilted?
the earth is not perfectly round, as with most other planets it is an oblate spheroid. Answer: The tilt refers to a tilt in the axis of rotation, compared to a line that is perpendicular to the Ecliptic (the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun).
What do the planets Jupiter and earth have in common?
they're both round

Why are the dwarf planets round?
because of the gravity of the other planets around them
What is it called when planets revolve around the earth?
Please kindly note planets revolve round the sun only.
Why do astronomers think that besides earth other planets in the solar system also have season?
Because SEASONS are caused by the tilt of a planet's axis of rotation (spin) as compared to the plane in which the planet orbits (goes round) the Sun. Earth has an axial tilt and so do MOST of the other planets. This means that these planets will also have seasons.
Why do astronomers create dwarf planets?
Astronomers do not create planets, they observe and study them. A "dwarf planet" is defined as large enough to be round, but too small to have cleared its orbit "neighbourhood" of other objects.
Who drew a model that showed the sun and planets going round the earth?
Copernicus
What are all planets circumferences?
The circumference of a planet is the distance round their widest part. On earth, it is measured round the equator.
