Why is a circle the shape with the most rotational symmetry?

A circle, rotated through an angle measuring any real value in the interval [0, 360 degrees) or [0, 2*pi radians) and remain symmetrical. The order of symmetries is therefore the continuum, C - a number that is uncountably infinite (as opposed to countably infinite). No other 2-dimensional shape can match that. ***** The perimeter of a circle measured from the centre is the same length no matter where the measurement is taken.


How many rotational symmetry for a star?

For a star shaped figure, as many as the number of points. For a real star (like the ones up in the sky) either infinitely many or none - depending on the level of detail that you look at. The surface of any star has lots of dimples and bumps caused by stellar activity and these will break up any symmetry. If you ignore these fine details, then the star is a smooth ellipsoid and has infinitely many rotational symmetries. These symmetries are along the star's axis of rotation. For any other axis, the star's rotation will make the equatorial region bulge out and so there will be no symmetries.
