I wonder how large a cube 'planet' could be before it started to turn into a sphere under its gravity.

[@TopPodcastclips01]

A Cube-shaped planet made of Earth-like materials would collapse into a sphere under its own gravitational force at about 1000 kilometers in diameter (620 miles) but it would start to deform at about 500 kilometers in diameter (310 miles).
