Why Planets Are Round

Описание к видео Why Planets Are Round

Why are planets round? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explain why the universe keeps creating spheres. What is so special about spheres?

We explore why soap bubbles, cold pigeons, planets, and the sun are all round. Learn about asteroid Ceres’ upgrade to dwarf planet and how Saturn got its rings. We also get into disks: why are some object spheres and other are disks?
