  • Shape of the Sun, Earth & Planets: A Simple Explanation
    The Sun, Earth, and all other planets in our solar system are spherical, meaning they are round like a ball.

    While they are not perfectly smooth spheres, they are close enough to be considered so.

    * Sun: The Sun is a giant ball of hot gas, and its gravity pulls all its matter towards its center, resulting in a nearly perfect sphere.

    * Earth: Earth is also a sphere, though it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.

    * Planets: All the planets in our solar system are spherical, though some are more flattened than others.
