Great question! I know it seems that the whole industry makes round lenses, but you are probably wearing a pair of glasses with non-round lenses. There are many applications where lenses are non-round. Invariably they are more expensive, since most start out round and then are trimmed to a different shape. Various aspects of optical instruments particularly their apertures make round lenses easier to mount and use. This would not stop anyone from making non-round optical devices when they are needed.
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.
All 8 planets in our solar system rotate around a star, our sun. Virtually all planets rotate around a star.
Planets orbit stars.
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
It's difficult or impossible to answer because planets have been discovered going round a few nearby stars, but the number of external solar systems could be very high.
Yes. All the stars are round and all the planets are round.
Yes. All the stars are round and all the planets are 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.
Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.

All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.
Planets orbit stars.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Planets and stars have gravity.
Planets and stars are similar:FEW OF THE WAYS ARE :Both the stars and planets moveThey are celestial objectsThey are studied by astronomers
The Solar System Makes the planets and the Stars.
