Recently, International Union of Astronomers proposed to change the definition of a Planet. Details at Solar System Could Gain New Planets Under Definition Change. This news led me to a few questions and answers. Some of them are:
Q1. What is the difference between star and planet: Observational Difference And Physical Difference.
Q2. Why is a planet/star always spherical? Answer - present on the above pages - The gravitational pull is so big that everything is pulled towards the center. Due to this, a sphere is created in the 3 dimensional space.
