You spelled triangle wrong

2006-06-13 04:55:26 · answer #1 · answered by bergstromboy 1 · 3 4

If the sun was a triangle then the Earth would not be here as the mass is focused by the core which is a sphere.
Things that are round are the most successful object as a sphere is the most successful shape.
In the beginning of the solar system.
An area or storm of gas span and fusion heated it up until it molded into a 3d circle, a sphere.
As it was kept spinning the leftover gas plain or solar disc turned to dust and the planets formed round by mould from the dust. The creation of the spin is theoretical to many theories and therefore is unknown as gravity.
The sun and the planets were molded and the planetoids were made by mis-formed planets.
Asteroids and Comets are mis-formations too or broken planets or larger planetoids/asteroids/comets.
Planetoids were made into moons of planets.
In the moulding time the objects would mould and collide.
The lucky planets, moons, asteroids and comets including planetoids were left as they are today.
The sun now a big ball of plasma gasses in nuclear fusion self natural development.

Why is SUN …?
First of all what is ‘SUN’? Is it Sun or is it SUN like in, Sunday, Stanford University Network, Senior Unlimited Nudes or a tiker for Sunoco?

I assume you meant the Sun, our Sun, a small star in a middle of our planetary system. It that case … It is an interesting question.

I would say it is round due to force optimization. It could have been made triangular or tetrahedral since we are dealing with a three dimensional object, however to do so would be prohibitively costly. Can you imagine the force field required to maintain our Sun in the tetrahedral shape? The Universe could go bankrupt in a matter of a light year or less. The spherical shape is so much more economical. Don’t you think so?

"I just posted this for another question. But It is the same idea. Just replace the earth with the sun"



The most basic answer to your question lies in gravitational forces. Earth is pulled in upon itslelf with equal forces at all angles from its centre.
A cube would require forces to be greater on the sides and weaker towards the corner.

When our early solar system was formed, and most other heavenly bodies as well, they were super-hot and in a liquid or gas state. These masses of liquid and gas were maleable and when they colapse in on themselves (gravity) and start cooling over time, they harden into spheres.
It is possible to have a cube shaped body in the universe, but it would not be naturally formed. It would have to be something broken off from a solid planet and asteroid.

everything is pulled towards the one point of gravity in the sun. If the sun were a triangle, then some parts would be further away from the center than others. Also, the sun isnt solid, it is a sort of liquid thing, so the sun has everything pulled and spread out evenly.

Everything is round up there. But if the sun is fire, is there O2 up there to keep the fire going like we need down here and if not, why doesn't the big flame go out? Also a triangle doesn't seem logical to me, but why isn't the sun flame shaped like it is down here and another thing is the sun just a big ball of fire or is something burning and if it's only fire, how can it stay lit? You're freaking me out.

The scientific reason is the sun is round, due to gravity and the rotation of the mass of the sun, which is in some sort of balance. Or you can accept the simpler concept of that is the way God planned it.

Actually, it's not round.
It's spherical like any other celestial bodies.
Being too bright and far for us to see it as 3 dimensional, we see it in it's 2 dimensional form - round(ish).

PS - Celestial bodies are round because they are held together by gravity of the core, so the edges are all equal-distance from the center, resulting in a spherical shape.

many million years ago, the universe is made up of dust....but slowly the gas forms due to gravitational force(and it's poisonous)... the pull causes the gases to form in a compact form, and many yrs later, the core forms....and it's circular... so isn't it apparent tat the sun will be circular....by the way, the sun is not a planet...

If you have asked why sun is round, we can take it as question.

The sun is not in the shape of a triangle,because if it were, you will ask why it is not a square?

Every thing that rotates in the space, encounters forces of rotational motion which forces for these objects to be round.
