Do every stars and planets have equators and poles?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
billrussell42 say: if they are rotating (and just about all of them are), yes.

Anything that is rotating has an equator and poles, by definition.
-
Alexander say: If they rotate, yes.
-
Clive say: Yes. They all rotate, and anything that rotates must have poles it rotates around and an equator in between them.
-
Ronald 7 say: Of course
It is a result of Gravitational collapse
-
tham153 say: if they rotate, which so far as we know all do
-
az_lender say: Yes, they all rotate.
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: It would be very rare for a star or plant *not* to be rotating; Venus rotates very slowly - but, it still rotates... and, any body that rotates will have an equator and poles that mark the axis it rotates around...
-
Zirp say: the ones that rotate (we don whether there are any that don't) must have an equator and two poles, yes.

Whether they all have MAGNETIC poles is unclear
-
Roman say: Don't think so
-
Adullah M say: It must have otherwise it would roll like footballs with out any exact directions.Since the whole stars and planets are created for working in unison through out the universe.

billrussell42 say: if they are rotating (and just about all of them are), yes.

Anything that is rotating has an equator and poles, by definition.
-
poldi2 say: Yes, since every star and planet rotates.
-
busterwasmycat say: Any pole of rotation will have an equator that corresponds to it. The equator is simply a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation, at the midpoint between the two poles. The poles are simply the location when the axis of rotation intersects the surface of the rotating body. There are few objects in space that have no rotational component at all, so in effect, pretty well everything has (at least) two "poles" and an "equator".
-
CarolOklaNola say: Yes. Some dwarf planets have more than two poles. .
