What is the shape of Jupiter?
The shape of Jupiter is actually an oblate spheroid. An oblate spheroid has flattened poles and a bulging equator. This is so because of its speed of its rotation. It completes one rotation in only 9 hours and 55 minutes. The centrifugal force generated causes the equator to bulge. the diameter of Jupiter's equator is 5400 miles (8600km) more then the diameter from pole to pole.

You probably mean "oblate spheroid," which is the 3D analogue of an ellipse. The earth and other planets, due to the competition between rotational momentum and gravity, is an oblate spheroid. You can model an oblate spheroid by rotating an ellipse around its shorter axis, just as you can model a sphere by the rotation of a circle around any diameter.
