It has to do with something called the Schrodinger equation, which is a mathematical representation of what an electron will do in a nucleus. Basically, unless you can do fairly difficult differential equations, it's best to accept that they are.
If you can, check out the Wikipedia page for the equation. It goes into far more detail than makes sense to do here.
What else can I help you with?
Is a planet a hot sphere of gas that gives off energy?
Not all planets are hot spheres of gas. Planets like Earth are composed of solid rock and metal, while gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are mainly composed of hydrogen and helium gas. Stars, on the other hand, are hot spheres of gas that produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores.
Are all planets and stars shape like circle?
All planets and stars are approximately spherical in shape, a shape formed under their own gravity. Most are `oblate` spheroids though, squashed spheres, since their rotation can cause them to `bulge` out at the equator if it is sufficient enough.
What planets are not round?
How round are we required to be? All the planets are spherical, due to gravitation. None of the planets are perfect spheres, due to rotation, tidal effects, surface irregularities, etc. If you are thinking of celestial objects other than planets, small ones under 300 kilometers in diameter (or up to 600 km depending on their composition) can be very odd shapes because they have insufficient gravity to form them into spheres.
What do the larger planets have in common?
Planets and Dwarf Planets are both round, unlike asteroids, which are potato shaped.
How are all the planets in the solar system similar?
No - the moons in my solar system are not similar in appearance. Most are spherical (if the are big enough) but some, like the 2 moons of Mars, are more potato shaped, since they are not big enough to have enough gravity to form spheres.
What shapes are the planets in the solar system?
All the planets are spheres.
Why are bubble shaped like spheres?
because the gas is distributed evenly in all directions
Are the sun and planets round?
Yes!!!! The correct term is "spherical", which means round in all dimensions like a ball. (A hoop is round, but is not spherical) Stars and planets are not perfect spheres, but they are very close to perfect spheres.
What is the planet Venus shaped like?
Venus is roughly spherical, as are all planets.
Is there a planet that is a rectangular shape?
No all planets are almost perfect spheres
Do all planets stay in one place or do they revolve in orbit?
The planets turn about their axes (rotate), and move in orbits about the sun (revolve). They are all in dynamic motion all the time. Welcome to the music of the spheres. Planets (all of them) are continually in motion. They all revolve on their axes and move about the sun in their orbits. This is the music of the spheres.
What shape are planet?
The inner planets have a spherical shape. In fact all planets are more or less spherical.
How they are alike inner planets and outer planets?
They are alike because they are both called planets, both terrestrial planets and gas giants are spheres, all have a somewhat dense core and lastly all orbit around the sun.
All spheres are similar?
True...
What are all the 'spheres in space?
Planets can be analysed in terms of concentric spheres which include, the lithosphere (rock), the hydrosphere (water) the atmosphere (air) and so forth. The atmosphere itself is divided into several spheres, the troposphere (at the bottom) the stratosphere (at higher elevation) and the exosphere (the very thin air where the atmosphere meets outer space). Space is not divided into spheres, although planets and stars are spherical in shape.
Is a planet a hot sphere of gas that gives off energy?
Not all planets are hot spheres of gas. Planets like Earth are composed of solid rock and metal, while gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are mainly composed of hydrogen and helium gas. Stars, on the other hand, are hot spheres of gas that produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores.
