astroids are generally much smaller than planets and stars and therefore have a lower mass and therefore a smaller gravitational field. Consequently, although their gravity is sufficiently strong to hold material together it isn't sufficient to pull that material into a spherical shape and so the object remains irregularly proportioned. If further material was acreted, however, it would slowly assemble to form a sphere

Answer:

Explanation:

Planets are round while asteroids are irrerugular in shape as asteroids are smaller in shape thus having less garvity and matter. As gravity pulls down everything in the centre the planets become round in shape while asteroids are irregular.
