Why are stars and planets spherical (ball shaped)?

Gravity pulls harder on parts that stick out. This extra gravity makes planets more round.

Gravity pulls evenly towards the center. Over time this rounds out a planet into a sphere.

When stars and planets were made, they began as round balls in space,

"an open tank has the shape of a right circular cone. the tank is 6 feet across the top and 5 feet high. how much work is done in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge? note: the density of water is 62.4 lbs per cubic foot."

Acup of coffee sits on the dashboard of an automobile. the car goes around a sharp curve. even though you hold the cup still, coffee still splashes out. this can best be explained due to a) density. b) friction. c) gravity. d) inertia.

When considering gravity acceleration and the force of acceleration, what must be true? a. the direction of acceleration must be perpendicular to the direction of the force. b. the direction of the force and the direction of acceleration must be the same as each other. c. the direction of the force and the direction of acceleration must be opposite of each other. d. the mass of the body must be the same as the acceleration of the body.
