<prompt> Ke hobaneng ha lipolanete li le chitja?nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Why are planets round? . Response in English: Planets are round because of the force of gravity. During their formation, debris, gas and other materials clumped together to form a larger object. As the mass of this object grew, its gravity became stronger, pulling in more materials to add to its growth. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of mass, and in the case of a large celestial body like a planet, gravity is strong enough to shape the body into a sphere, with every point on the surface being an equal distance from the center. In addition to gravity, the rotation of the planet also helps to shape it into a sphere. When a celestial body rotates, the force causes its mass to redistribute, with more mass shifting towards the equator, further contributing to its spherical shape. This is why planets are not perfect spheres, but slightly flattened at the poles and bulged at the equator, forming what is known as an oblate spheroid shape. . Response in Sesotho: Lipolanete li chitja ka lebaka la matla a khoheli. Nakong ea ho thehoa ha tsona, litšila, khase le lisebelisoa tse ling li ile tsa kopana ho etsa ntho e kholoanyane. Ha boima ba ntho ena bo ntse bo eketseha, matla a eona a khoheli a ile a matlafala, a hula lisebelisoa tse eketsehileng ho eketsa khōlo ea eona. Matla a khoheli a hulela ntho e ngoe le e ngoe ho ea bohareng ba boima, me tabeng ea mele o moholo oa leholimo o kang polanete, matla a khoheli a matla ka ho lekaneng ho bopa mele hore o be selikalikoe, me ntlha e ngoe le e ngoe e holima metsi e le sebaka se lekanang ho tloha bohareng. Ho phaella ho matla a khoheli, ho potoloha ha polanete ho boetse ho thusa ho e bōpa hore e be chitja. Ha mele oa leholimo o potoloha, matla a etsa hore boima ba oona bo arole hape, me boima bo eketsehileng bo fetohela ho equator, e leng se tlatsetsang ho sebopeho sa eona se chitja. Ke ka lebaka lena lipolanete e seng lilika-likoe tse phethahetseng, empa li bataletse hanyenyane lithupeng me li phunyeletse ho equator, ho etsa se tsejoang e le sebopeho sa oblate spheroid.
