How does resistance affects an falling object?

It depends on the shape of the object. A spherical object will fall faster than a rectangular object. This is untrue if they are placed in a vacuum.

What shape is the earth approximately?

The Earth is approximately spherical in shape, specifically an oblate spheroid. This means it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation.


Does each planet have to rotate or have wind to become round?

The round (spherical) shape of a planet comes about through the force of gravity, not through wind, but the rotation does have an effect on its shape. Mass is related to gravity, the more massive an object is the bigger the force of gravity at its surface. If an object is around 700-1000km in diameter (roughly) then it will have enough gravity for it to shape itself into a ball shape, overcoming the internal forces that would otherwise give it an irregular shape. A object (like a moon, dwarf planet or planet) has to be large enough and massive enough to 'pull' itself into a spherical shape. The spin of the object may cause the spherical shape to become squashed, if it is fast enough, as the centripetal forces at the equator will stretch it out somewhat.


Why is the moon spherical in shape?

Its the same reason as to why every other heavenly body is spherical in shape. its because any rotating body in order to conserve energy takes the shape involving least tension and hence your planets, moons are spherical in shape.


What are two criteria needed for a space object to be considered a planet?

Two criteria for a space object to be considered a planet are: (1) it must orbit the Sun, and (2) it must have enough mass for its gravity to pull it into a roughly spherical shape. Additionally, it must have cleared its orbit of other debris.
