In general, planets are considered round, although they may not be perfectly round. Jupiter's equatorial radius is about 71,500 km, and its polar radius is about 66,800 km, indicating that it bulges at the equator; it is a little "stouter" than it is "tall". Earth has the same general characteristic. No object in the solar system has a geometrically perfect shape, and it is not likely that any objects in the universe do, either.
