A relatively famous planet known as WASP-12b is so close to its sun that it is egg shaped, literally being torn apart by its sun. I believe this happens because a day and a year are the same on that planet, so one side always has more gravity pulling it, which the planet’s own gravity isn’t able to resist. So not all planets are spherical.
