A liquid or semi-liquid without a container in microgravity takes on the shape that has the least amount of surface area compared to the volume. That would be a sphere. Now, if it is turning there will be a slight bulge at the equator of the ball, which there is.
The unlabeled spherical object between the sun and earth is the moon. It orbits around Earth and reflects sunlight, making it visible from our perspective on Earth.
No but they are of a spherical shape
The Moon of the Earth has a spherical shape regardless to its position compared to the Sun.
Simple answer - They are sphere'sRelatively simple answer - They are oblate spheroidsComplex answer. The Earth and Moon are oblate spheroids (The Earth to a greater effect), whereas the Sun is a gaseous body so it experiences an extended oblate spheroid property.
Yes or to be more precise they are spherical
First he realised that eclipses of the moon were caused by the earth coming between the sun & the moon. The earth's shadow on the moon was always round, which would be true only if the earth was spherical.
they are all spherical in shape
The sun is a sphere and the moon is a sphere.
The Moon is always spherical, or nearly so. However, the light from the Sun comes ... from the Sun, and we live on the Earth. So as the Moon goes around the Earth and the light comes from the Sun, our view of the illuminated area of the Moon will vary.It is this "sideways" view of the Moon in the sunlight that causes our perception of the phases of the Moon.
Yes, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are approximately spherical bodies. Their shapes are influenced by gravity, which pulls matter towards their centers, resulting in a nearly round form. However, the Earth is slightly oblate due to its rotation, causing it to be slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. The Moon, while also spherical, has a more irregular surface due to impact craters and geological processes.
Never.
