Both planets and dwarf planets are in "hydrostatic equilibrium", which basically means that they are big enough, massive enough, and have enough gravity, to have a shape that is basically a sphere (or an ellipsoid, if the planet rotates rapidly, as is the case with Jupiter and Saturn).

What else can I help you with?
