Re: Roundness of Cosmic Bodies

Charles, who are you gonna believe, Wikipedia or your lying eyes?

Here's Mimas at 396 km diameter, not radius, and Miranda at 472 km.

Here are the dimensions of some moons of Saturn. Note that even Earth is 12,714 km x 12,756 km with ratio of .997. I added the ratios to this list of moon dimensions.

Tethys
1,072 x 1,056 x 1,052 km = .981
Enceladus
512 x 494 x 490 km = .957
Mimas

418 x 392 x 382 km = .914

Hyperion
370 x 280 x 226 km = .611
Phoebe
230 x 220 x 210 km = .913
Janus
194 x 190 x 154 km = .794
Epimetheus
138 x 110 x 110 km = .797
