Shaped like a sphere or globe; approximately spherical or ball-like in form.
From Latin 'globus' (sphere) with the suffix '-oid' (meaning 'resembling' or 'similar to'), literally translating to 'globe-like.'
Many planets and moons are globoid because gravity pulls material equally in all directions—the bigger an object is in space, the more likely it becomes round because that's gravity's favorite shape!
