Why does an object with a lot of mass takes the shape of a sphere?

Objects such as astriods or small moons are iregulary shaped because they have much less mass than the planets. Therefore thier gravitational force is not strong enough to form a sphere.

How does the centre of gravity change as the size of the object changes?
The location of an object's center of gravity depends on the object's shape, and on how its mass is distributed throughout its shape, but not on its size. The center of gravity of a homogeneous sphere is at the center of the sphere, no matter whether the sphere's radius is 1 millimeter or 1 light year.
How is the density of a regularly shaped object determined by experiment?
If the shape of the object is regular (a cube or a sphere) then the volume can be calculated from the measurement of the object's key dimension(s). And the object's mass can be determined in a mass balance. Give the mass and volume the density is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Where the object's shape is irregular, the volume may be determined by measuring the volume of a liquid displaced by submerging the object completely in that liquid.
Can centre of mass of a body can exist at point where there is no mass of the object?
Yes. For example, the center of mass of a hollow sphere would be at the empty center of that sphere.
The most effective shape for achieving critical mass is a?
sphere
What is the most effective shape for achieving critical mass?
A sphere

How does the shape of an object compare and contrast to the mass of the object made of the same substance and mass?
The shape of an object bears no relation to the mass of an object.

An object will sink in a liquid if the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid. the mass of a sphere is 9.83g. if the volume of this sphere is less than blank cm3 then the sphere will?

The most effective shape for achieving critical mass is a?
sphere
What is the most effective shape for achieving critical mass?
A sphere
Mass is a measure of an object's?
mass is a measure of the space an object takes up.
Which shape uses the smallest amount of material when creating a cretical mass?
A sphere.
How is the object related to its mass?
anything that is real takes up space and has mass. that is how and object is related to mass
What is the meaning of Massed?
Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass has weight, volume, takes up space, and is measurable.
