Why is Earth round?

Reason: Earth Is Round

The Earth is roughly spherical due to gravity. Gravity pulls objects toward its center, and over time, this force shapes celestial bodies into a roughly spherical form.

A good amount of gravity(although different for different planets). That’s the force that holds stuff together in space. When a forming planet is big enough, it starts to clear its path around the star it orbits. It uses its gravity to snag bits of space stuff. A planet’s gravity pulls equally from all sides. Gravity pulls from the center to the edges like the spokes of a bicycle wheel. This makes the overall shape of a planet a sphere, which is a three-dimensional circle. This is the reason for the shape of the Earth.
