Any massive enough object will be in "hydrostatic equilibrium". Usually that means "pretty close to spherical", though rapidly rotating bodies may be oblate spheroids instead.

What shape are the sun earth and earth and other planets?

The sun is a roughly spherical shape due to its internal gravitational forces pulling it into a balanced form. The Earth and other planets in our solar system are also approximately spherical in shape, a result of their own gravitational forces acting over time. However, it's important to note that the planets are not perfect spheres, as they can be slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to their rotation.
