The planets mass creates gravity which pulls it into a spherical shape. This is the difference between planets and other heavenly bodies such as moons and asteroids. To be defined as a planet, a body must have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape and it's gravity must be sufficient to clear its area of other debris.
What else can I help you with?
Are planets different shapes?
No. All planets are spherical.
Are the planets different sizes and shapes?
No, they are the size of uranus ;)
Are asteroids mostly round like planets or are they all different shapes?
Asteroids are all different shapes and sizes.
Why do the 8 planets have different shapes and composition?
because they were created like that
Why are all planets circle in shape why arent they other shapes?
We don't know there are only 8 planets in our solar system & these are all round.But there are billions of planets in just our Milky Way is it possible that some we find won't be round.One of the moons of Mars is potato shaped.
What shapes are the planets in the solar system?
All the planets are spheres.
How are planets different?
There are many ways the planets are different. One way is that they all have different gravity levels, they are all different shapes and sizes. Lastly that they are different temperature, and different material.
Why aren't all the planets same colour?
Planets have different colors because of variations in their composition and atmosphere. Factors like the presence of different minerals, gases, and atmospheric conditions can affect the color of a planet. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight hits the planet can also influence its appearance.
How does gravity affect the other planets in the solar system?
"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.
What is the general shape of the planets as they go around the sun?
If you are talking about the shapes of the planets themselves, then that would be a sphere. However, if you are talking about the shapes of their orbits, that would be an ellipse, which is a fancy term for an oval.
How is a cylinders and prisms are different?
they arent
Why are shapes and sizes of cell different?
Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
