What else can I help you with?
Is the sun and earth roughly the same shape?
No, the Sun and Earth are not roughly the same shape. The Sun is a roughly spherical star, while the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
What are two thing the planets have in common?
Planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun and are roughly spherical in shape due to their gravity.
Which planet is nearly round in shape?
All planets in our solar system are somewhat squished in shape due to their rotation, or are "oblate spheroids" - but Venus is the least oblate or the most spherical, owing to its slow rotation.
What shape is the planet mercury?
Mercury is roughly spherical in shape, like most other planets. Its shape is determined by its gravity, which pulls the planet's material into a compact, rounded form.
What shape does each planet take?
A planet is said to be in `hydrostatic equilibrium, its shape is formed roughly into a sphere by its own gravity. Most planets rotate enough for the sphere to flatten out ever so slightly, squashed at the centre, so really they are `oblate spheroids`.
What do most planets have that Earth does?
gas and shape
What are inner planet shapes?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) in our solar system are all roughly spherical in shape due to their gravity compressing their material into a spherical form. They lack the mass to maintain a more irregular shape like some larger moons or asteroids.
How is earth similar to other planets?
in term of shape
What shape of a sun and earth and other planets?
sphere
Is Mars round?
The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.
What objects have a sphere shape?
Most balls are sperical. Starts and planets are roughly sperical, as are oranges.
Is the sun and earth roughly the same shape?
No, the Sun and Earth are not roughly the same shape. The Sun is a roughly spherical star, while the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
What are two thing the planets have in common?
Planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun and are roughly spherical in shape due to their gravity.
What does the shape of the earth look like?
Earth is more of an oval compared to all the other planets.
Which planet is nearly round in shape?
All planets in our solar system are somewhat squished in shape due to their rotation, or are "oblate spheroids" - but Venus is the least oblate or the most spherical, owing to its slow rotation.
What shape are the sun earth and earth and other planets?
Approximately spherical, but because of the speed of their rotation, there is certain 'oblateness' - a little flattening of the shape on the poles. The shape that results is often called a 'geoid'.
What shape is the planet mercury?
Mercury is roughly spherical in shape, like most other planets. Its shape is determined by its gravity, which pulls the planet's material into a compact, rounded form.
