    Every planet that you see is sort of ball shaped, as planets are formed by destroyed stars etc, you would think there would be a few odd shapes out there?????????

    Its's all to do with the gravitational pull of the stars they rotate around and their sheer size and mass.
    Things like asteroids tend not to be round because they are usually only fragments..

    Th3ese are not all same size or same radius, But.. you would think that after a star collapses etc, there would some odd shapes orbiting, but I guess as gravitation pulls and the rotation a ball shape is the most obvious shape...

    I think Jupiter is a bit weird since it has rings but the planet itself is still oval shaped.

    Gravity pulls any mass together so it's round after a certain size.

    will there be some humans with tails?:rolleyes:

    well actually you have asked an interesting question, i love to answer such questions:D

    the answer here is only a spherically shaped body revolving around a star is entitled to be known as a Planet, there are plenty of other shapes as well but we humans call all others as asteroids.................
