Planets are round due to gravity pulling material towards their center, which results in a spherical shape. This is known as hydrostatic equilibrium, where gravity balances the internal pressure caused by the material pushing outwards. Over time, this gravitational force molds planets into the most energy-efficient shape, which is a sphere.
