Planets aren't streamlined - if you made a planet sized object that's a cube it'd travel through space very nearly (if the resistance of light or the solar wind is ignored) as well as a spherical one. Planets are spherical because of the gravity of the object. In zero gravity a liquid or a gas will form into a sphere, because of the gravity of all the atoms pulling equally on each other, forming a sphere.

This question seems to display a lack of gravity.

Actually, space is not a vacuum. Maybe that's why.

if its gravity why do some of them have orbits that go the wrong way?
Maybe that's the way god created them?!
