Gravity. It pulls the various parts of the object toward the center. Gravity increases with mass. Extremely massive objects, like planets and the larger asteroids, have enough gravity that the object must assume a roughly spherical shape.

Are dwarf planets any shape except for round?

Dwarf planets can have various shapes, but they tend to be round due to their self-gravitation pulling them into a roughly spherical shape. Some dwarf planets, like Haumea, are elongated due to their rapid rotation, while others may appear irregular in shape.


Is Mars round?

The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.

When the Earth rotates from west to east, it produces wind in east to west direction and because of this friction occurs in between them which has turned the Earth round in shape.


Can dwarf planets be any shape except round?

Yes, dwarf planets can have a variety of shapes besides being round. Factors like their size, composition, and unique geological history can influence their shape. Some dwarf planets may have irregular shapes due to impacts or gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.


Is a planet round?

Why are planets moons ans stars all round?

Planets, moons, and stars are round due to gravity. Gravity pulls objects towards their center of mass, causing them to form into a spherical shape. This is the most stable and efficient configuration for large celestial bodies.


What shape are sun earth and other planets?

The sun is a sphere, while planets are generally spherical in shape due to gravity pulling their mass evenly in all directions. Some planets have slight deviations from a perfect sphere due to rotation or geological activity, but they are still predominantly spherical in shape.
