We are interested in many things in nature. Sometimes we are mesmerized by the beauty of nature, sometimes we are surprised by the harshness of nature.
Why does water have no color? Many questions arise as to why the color of leaves of trees is green. One such question is why are all the planets round?
You may have seen that almost all the planets are round, but why aren’t the planets any other shape? Why are there only circles? We have a question about this. Find out what science has to say about it.
Planets are not perfectly round
Although we see all the planets as round, the shape of the planets is not perfectly round. Planets shrink near the poles and bulge in the middle.
The effect of gravity
According to scientists, the shape of the planets is spherical due to the effect of gravity. Any object near the center of gravity will attract. Similarly, due to the effect of gravity, the elements of a planet are attached to its core. Due to this, the shape of the planets is spherical.
Also, the planets are constantly revolving around the Sun, so the speed of their rotation also affects their size. The higher the speed of rotation of the planets, the more it tends to flatten the surface of the planets. Due to these reasons the shape of the planets is spherical.
