planet mars.is it spherical or is it eliptical,egg shape and if so why ?

Answer 1

Yes, Mars is oblate spheroid. This means that the radius at the equator is 3396.2 km, and the radius around the poles is 3376.2 km.

Answer 2

It could be any of those. When first any one looks at the stars through a telescope they appear to have four or five points. But if you magnify them..they appear to look spherical and even so with planets. pl anet mars could be spherical. Planet earth is eliptical and has a bulge around the equator,and in our life time it tilts giving us the equal amount of daylight and dark. Planet saturn is eliptical and does the same. If you look at it's rings you will see that the outer edge is pointing downward. Six weeks later the rings appear to be moved up and six weeks later the rings will be in the middle and eventualy end up at the top. It does this all the time at a slow rate.

Answer 3

The planet Mars is SPHEROID, that is sphere like!!!
All planets in the Solar system are shaped like this.
Because each planet rotates on its axis, centripetal force operates trying to throw off material at its equator. This makes the distance around a planets equator greater than the distance around one of its meridians (pole-to-pole).So its shape is a slightly flattened sphere (SPHEROID). Depending on the planet there are different degrees of flattening known as ABLATION.

Answer 4

All planets are elliptical because of the speed they rotate at. With most of our planets this is slight and goes un-noticed but with the planet Jupiter it is bulged at it's equator due to centrifugal force acting because of it's fast rotation

Answer 5

its shpreical, because all matter with great enough gravity is spherical, becase a sphere is the most eficient shape a storing matter

Answer 6

mars like the earth is an oblate spheroid it is due to the centrifugal force.
