Note the oblateness of Jupiter, due to the centrifugal force caused by it rotating once ever 10 hours. The fact that the planet is mostly liquid and gas helps a bit too. There's no discernable surface either...the atmospheric pressure becomes so great that gasses are eventually compressed into a liquid at varying depths around the planet. A probe we dropped down there in the 90s didn't even make it to the liquid part before it was destroyed by the heat and pressure. Crazy stuff eh?
