Why are the Planets almost round?

Is Mouton not the French word for sheep

I'm confused now.... So instead of this flat Earth being carried by a turtle it is actually being carried by a sheep???

The moon is always pointing its one side to us because it turns one revolution in the same time as it takes to orbit the earth

The really cool and handy coincidence is that the moon is 240 times smaller than the sun but is 240 times closer
Anyone like watching a total eclipse

now I will throw a spanner in the works ,if this planet was mouton rock to hot and cooled down .where do the water come in to it .now think about it .

Hi Buzz, in what sense are you asking?
matter tends to come in 3 basic forms - gas, liquid and solid. Water (H2O) can be found naturally occurring on earth in all 3 states, steam, water, ice. Water forms when 2 hydrogen gas molecules interact with 1 oxygen molecule within in the right environmental conditions, hence H2O.
One of the things scientists look for on other worlds in and beyond our solar system is the signs of water, preferably liquid water because it appears that it is essential for life as we know it to exist. meaning there could be a possibility of life forming there - E.T

and bung some carbon in with the hydrogen and oxygen, shaken , not strirred, and you have life. so it's back to fish again.

which leads to the question:
Q. what do you call a fish without an eye?

A.FSH.

You experience the event,like savouring a cracking pint

Its like someone said on here before "no such thing as a Light emitting lamp"
The confusion is because its really just a "dark sucker"
