Why can a chord be a diameter?
because the chord can be determine by the diameter and the diameter can be determine by the chord.
What is shape and size of the planets?
Planets, by definition are all approximately spherical in shape, though their axial rotation often means that they are oblate spheroids (look like `squashed spheres`, longer across the equator than from pole to pole). The size of the planets varies; Mercury's diameter (at the equator) = 4880km or 0.3825 x Earths diameter Venus' diameter = 12104km or 0.9488 x Earths Earth's diameter = 12756km Mars' diameter = 6794km or 0.5323 x Earths Jupiter's diameter = 142,984km or 11.21 x Earths Saturn's diameter = 120,534km or 9.45 x Earths Uranus' diameter = 51,114km or 4.01 x Earths Neptune's diameter = 49,532km or 3.88 x Earths
