It's not. It's roughly speaking an oblate spheroid. It takes this shape due mainly to gravity, inertia, and radiation pressure.

Why do we see rainbows only when the sun is relatively low in the sky?

-- The rainbow you see is a part of a circle.-- The center of the circle is on the line from the sun through your head.-- The radius of the circle is 86 degrees.-- The higher in the sky the sun is, the lower underground the center of the circle is,and the less of the circle is above ground where you can see it.===========================================-- Also, in order to see a rainbow, the sun must be in clear sky, whereas there must bewater droplets in the air in the direction where you see any colors. The chances of asetup like this are much better when the sun is low in the sky.


Does the earth rotate in a circle around the sun or a oval?

YES


How will the circle graph change as the sun ages?

As the Sun ages, it will gradually increase in size, brightness, and temperature. This will cause the circle graph representing the Sun to shift towards the higher end of the scale in terms of luminosity and temperature, while the size of the circle may increase slightly. Eventually, the Sun will exhaust its nuclear fuel and evolve into a red giant, causing significant changes in the circle graph.


What type of pattern does the earths orbit take around the sun?

The orbit of the Earth around the Sun is an elliptical orbit. It is not a perfect circle but rather an elongated circle with the Sun slightly off-center. This means that the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies throughout the year.
