Ever see a firework explosion that WASN'T round? Everytime you see a fireworks explosion, you are seeing it from the side. The "side" you see is not the same side someone 200 yards away would see. Nor is it the same side someone a mile and a half away would see.

Think of a lightbulb. When you turn the switch, an "explosion" of light particles is ejected from the filament. The particles of light all come from the center and travel at the same relative speed in every direction. In a fireworks explosion the same thing happens. A small center (the filament) explodes and sends tiny particles of burning matter, all moving at the same relative speed, in all directions making a "ball" of light. Just like a Basketball, no matter what side you look at, it's round.

There's an exception to this answer==If it is a kind of breezy night--The Fire works don't always fall straight to the ground--They sort of float in one direction==Not staight down!!Al;so did you ever view fire works from up in an airplane==Very different!!
