Solution

Dear student,

Earth or any other planet is round in shape due to gravity. Earth's gravity pulls equally from all sides. Gravity pulls from the centre to the edges like spokes of a bicycle wheel. This makes the overall shape of the planet a sphere or round. Sphere is a three-dimensional image of circle.

Regards.
