While some stars (like the Sun) are very nearly spherical, others are not. The star Altair in the constellation Aquila rotates very rapidly, causing its equator to bulge outward significantly. Altair looks a bit like a beach ball being sat upon. The reason the Sun and other slowly rotating stars are spherical is gravity pulling inward, and the fact that they are made of gas, not solid material. Any gas in the Sun that was further from the center than gas around it would be pulled back down--there's nothing solid beneath it to support it against gravity's downward pull.
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun and earth roughly the same shape?
No, the Sun and Earth are not roughly the same shape. The Sun is a roughly spherical star, while the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
Spherical body that orbits the sun?
PLANET
What is a small spherical object that orbiting the sun?
A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
What is the unlabeled spherical object between the sun and earth?
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.
What Object spherical in shape orbits the sun and does not clear its own orbit of smaller debris?
A dwarf planet is spherical in shape and orbits the sun without clearing its orbit of smaller debris. Examples of dwarf planets are Pluto and Eris.
What shape are the earth and the sun?
Spherical
What shape is the sun's core?
The Sun's core is mostly spherical in shape. It is where nuclear fusion occurs, producing energy in the form of light and heat.
What shape are the sun and the moon?
The sun is a sphere and the moon is a sphere.
Is the sun a square?
No. The sun is a circle not square. It is round, what you can call spherical.
How do you put spherical in a sentence?
The spherical ball rolled down the hill into the street.
Is the sun and earth roughly the same shape?
No, the Sun and Earth are not roughly the same shape. The Sun is a roughly spherical star, while the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
Spherical body that orbits the sun?

Lenght and widht of the sun?
The Sun is spherical (round), with a diameter of about 1.4 million km.
Are the moon sun and the earth perfect spheres?
No but they are of a spherical shape
What is a small spherical object that orbiting the sun?
A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
How do you use the word spherical in a sentence?
It is an adjective, so you could say: "The Sun is a bright spherical object in the sky during the day".
What is the shape of the moon when it is opposite to the sun?
The Moon of the Earth has a spherical shape regardless to its position compared to the Sun.
