Actually in 1958 Geo-scientists concluded that the planets were not round, they were actually pear shaped. OOPS!

"Your absolutely correct with your facts (SIR)!" "Pear shaped as with the (Earth)."Ergo the (Earth)wobbles through space!"
Cool!! I get a prize for this?? :) Funny this came up, I remember as a child when this 'tid-bit' of information surfaced, I was actually scared.. I dunno why, I was just scared. I remember that too.. That was about the same time that we sent a satellite into space and it had a message transmitted from prez Eisenhower greeting everyone from space.. I just couldn't figure out how they got him in that thing no bigger than a basketball.. LOL.. I wasn't a very bright kid..
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. The only way to get all the mass as close to planet's center of gravity as possible is to form a sphere. The technical name for this process is "isostatic adjustment. Hope this helps with your homework.
