Why does gravity makes planets round shaped?

All of the planets are round because of gravity. When our Solar System was forming, gravity gathered billions of pieces of gas and dust into clumps which grew larger and larger to become the planets. The force of the collision of these pieces caused the newly forming planets to become hot and molten. The force of gravity, pulled this molten material inwards towards the planet's center into the shape of a sphere. Later, when the planets cooled, they stayed spherical. Planets are not perfectly spherical because they also spin. The spinning force acts against gravity and causes many planets to bulge out more around their equators

☆☞ Here is ur answer ☜☆

✔✔ 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."

✔✔ With much smaller bodies, such as the 20-kilometer asteroids we have seen in recent spacecraft images, the gravitational pull is too weak to overcome the asteroid's mechanical strength.

✔✔ As a result, these bodies do not form spheres. Rather they maintain irregular, fragmentary shapes.

HOPE IT HELPS!
