Why is everything based on being round?

like the moon and Earth the planets' and saturns' rings' in orbit. a sphere.

basicly why is the moon round and the rest of the solar system?

Hi! Thanks for an interesting question.

Here are some explanations why planets are round (or spherical in
shape) and it mainly centers on the issue of gravity.

??larger bodies like the nine planets and most of their moons do look
like spheres.  That's because of the nature of gravity.  You can think
of gravity as a force that points inward toward the center of the
planet so that every part of the surface is pulled evenly toward the
center, resulting in a spherical shape.?

?Planets are round because their gravitational field acts as though it
originates from the center of the body and pulls everything toward it.
With its large body and internal heating from radioactive elements, a
planet behaves like a fluid, and over long periods of time succumbs to
the gravitational pull from its center of gravity.?

A failure of imagination.

Why didn't I think of that!

if everything turns around something, it has to be round
