YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAsteroids start out jagged, irregular, chaotic.
But when they grow past a certain size—gravity takes over.
It’s a law of physics: the sphere is the shape that takes the least energy to maintain.
So once you hit about 500–600 miles across, like some of the largest asteroids, their own mass forces them to become round.
They’re not planets.
But they’re not just rocks either.
