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.
Yes or to be more precise they are spherical
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.
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.
Never.
Spherical
Both the moon and the Earth are celestial bodies that are part of our solar system. They are both spherical in shape and are held in orbit by gravitational forces.
