Why are manholes round?

Round manholes provide access to underground utilities or passages. The heavy round cover just fits into a heavy ring. Things could be square or rectangular, but with a round cover, the cover cannot fall into the hole in any position. With a square or rectangular cover, there is a way to situate the cover so it partially covers the hole and then can fall in. Not so with the circular one.

Why is it better for manhole covers to be round rather than square?

The reason that manhole covers are round, and not square, is because a square cover could, when placed at the right angle, fall through the square hole in the ground. A circle, however, is the same diameter no matter where you measure it, and it cannot fir through a hole the same size and shape, no matter how hard anyone tried.

Not all are round- but a round cover that fits a round hatch cannot fall through its own hole when it is tilted. A square or rectangle CAN fall through its own hole.
