I found some massive round things on Earth. Please check out my question here.

Any ideas what they are?

Crops

Circular crops use a large circular sprinkler system. You see them all over the western US when you fly over.

Close. They are circular crops. They are shaped that way because of a center pivot irrigation (sprinkler) system.
