It's part of the definition of "planet". An asteroid or meteor can have any shape, because its gravity isn't great enough to crush it into a mostly-spherical shape. But planets ARE massive enough that they have to be spherical; their gravity forces them into that shape.
If their spin is fast enough, the equatorial regions will bulge out, such as with Earth and especially with Jupiter.
What else can I help you with?
Can a blue sun support habitable planets?
If they have the perfect distance like super far away lol =)
What is Pluto' s orbit shape?
Pluto orbits just like any of the other planets its just a dwarf planet.
What is distance from the son to Jupiter?
On average, the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is about 484 million miles (778 million kilometers). However, since both planets orbit in elliptical paths, this distance can vary depending on their positions in their respective orbits.
Why do the planets look like perfect circles?
Gravity causes each point on the outside of the planet to be a roughly equal distance from the gravitational centre.
Do the planets revolve from the sun in perfect circles?
A perfect circle means the planet is a perfect sphere (very unlikely) and no other gravitational force other than the body at the center of the orbit affecting its rotation. In our Solar System, there are many things that will interfere with that. (like the moons and other planets) It's not an impossible situation, but it's VERY unlikely.
Is there a perfect round circle?
yes like this o
Which shape is most like the shape of planets orbit?
in a oval shape not really a circle ANSWER:OVAL
The distance around the earth at the equator is like what measurement ofa circle?
This comparable to the perimeter of a circle.
How can you achieve a perfect circle by cutting a circle?
To achieve a perfect circle by cutting a circle, you would need to use a tool like a compass or a circle cutter to carefully trace and cut along the desired circumference. This precise method ensures that the new circle maintains the same shape and size as the original circle.
What shape describes the paths that planets follow?
The planets orbit the sun in an ellipse, like a squashed circle. The amount by which the ellipse is deformed by, from being a circle, is referred to as the eccentricity. An object with a highly eccentric orbit, such as a comet, will have a very elongated and stretched out orbit, its distance from the sun throughout its orbit will vary by a lot.
What object did coopering conclude was actually at the center of the universe?
circle because all of the planets a shaped like a circle even dwaf planet
What is the moons shapes?
the moon isn't a perfect sphere its kinda like a oval in a way The shape of the moon is an oblate spheroid, just like earth
