It should be obvious that the planet Earth is not perfectly round, since it has mountains, valleys, and other geographical features. It also bulges at the equator, as a result of the centrifugal force of its own rotation, and is therefore an oblate spheroid rather than a sphere.

I also find it a bit strange that you refer to "your solar system" as if you come from a different solar system. As far as I know, only human beings from the planet Earth are participating in this discussion. We all come from the same planet in the same solar system. It is therefore our solar system.

Why is earth not perfectly round?

The Earth is not perfectly round for at least three reasons. The first reason is that the Earth is somewhat flexible so it bulges outwards at the equator because of its rotation. The second reason is that the land masses are not distributed evenly and their weight presses down on the Earth, "dimpling" it slightly. The third reason is because geologic processes keep thrusting up mountains and erosion keeps digging out valleys so the Earth cannot be perfectly smooth.


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).

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.


Is all the planets completely round?

Yes and no. They are round, but not perfectly spherical. For example, the Earth has a slight bulge around the equator. Jupiter and Saturn have more obvious bulges. Saturn in particular is flattened at its poles compared with its equator. Also, of course, the surfaces of the planets are not perfectly smooth.
