Like a heavenly body, a sort ideal for spinning (10)
I believe the answer is:
asteroidal
'like a heavenly body' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a sort ideal for spinning' is the wordplay.
'for spinning' indicates an anagram (letters spin or turn around).
'sort'+'ideal'='sortideal'
'sortideal' with letters rearranged gives 'steroidal'.
'a'+'steroidal'='ASTEROIDAL'
(Other definitions for asteroidal that I've seen before include "relating to Eros, etc" , "Like a heavenly body" , "like Ceres" .)
