Why are planets round?

Question

If it's to do with gravity wouldn't we all be round?

And why do we draw stars like this *

Answer 1

Because gravity is strong enough to pull all the matter into a tighter configuration: a circle.

Answer 2

Any deviation from roundness would appear as a
mountain on a planet. Gravity is pulling down harder on
the mountain than on other areas and eventually pulls
it closer to the round shape we normally associate with
planets.

Answer 3

'Magnetic energy' and rotating have nothing to do with planets being round. Any sufficiently massive body will form a sphere under the influence of it's own gravity. You do not have enough gravity to become a sphere - even some of the larger asteriods we see in the asteroid belt aren't large enough to become spheres. Planets are, as are most moons.

Answer 4

Gravity and magnetic energy make planets become round in about a period of time

Answer 5

Gravity on big planets is strong enough to crunch down the sticky-up bits, if they poke out too far.

Answer 6

The Planets are Round because we live in a rotating Universe and spin at around 25,000 miles per hour thus causing the planets to eventually turn Round over milions of years. (GRAVITATION) and (MAGNETIC ENERGY)

Answer 7

They are round because of gravity, and the circular motion they move in. We are not round because we are so small. We aren't efftected by the circular motion.

Answer 8

Because they arent planets they are Gods meatballs

Answer 9

to show that there is no edges because i use them to play sport
