Size reference. I was wondering how big a rock has to be before its gravity compresses it into a sphere? Comets we have pictures of are very small in comparison but are still jagged shaped. Ceres looks like it gets pounded continuously.

"Ceres is the largest object in the Solar System's main asteroid belt, with a diameter of about 590 miles."To put this in perspective, the moon is approximately 2100 miles in diameter. So if Ceres was where the moon is, roughly 240,000 miles from Earth, it would be between 1/4 and 1/3 as wide as a full moon (~28%).
