I didn't write to this group looking for *perfect* sphere solar system
objects, or elipsoid, egg-shaped or just any solar system object. And I
didn't write to ask about dwarf planets, the article at wikipedia I had
already looked at. I was looking for a webpage that specialized in
spheroid objects in our solar system. One answer was at least a little
usefull, that was the link to the wikipedia article listing solar
system objects by mass. From this article I gather there are about 35
spheroid objects in our solar system, did I leave out any? I was hoping
to have a webpage to reference for these objects and any others I
missed as well as posting any new discoveries of new spheroid objects.

You said "spherical". Anyone trying to answer you needed to have an idea what
you meant by the term. Would you consider the Earth spherical? What
about Jupiter? You still haven't given any indication of what you intended.

And a spheroid isn't a sphere. Which did you mean?
