Why aren't the planets in different shapes?

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 property of a planet determines if the planet can have an atmosphere?

The mass of the planet. It's not clear cut, since there has to be gas around in the area to provide the atmosphere, but the planet (or moon) need to be massive enough to provide sufficient gravity for the gas molecules not to escape into space.
