read some books and stuff on the internet actually claiming that the sun is actually a cube but that it rotates so fast that it looks and is captured as a sphere....soo anyone got any idea?

If sun were a cube:
- watching it with my telescope I wouldn't see any sun-spot, because they would go so fast that they would appear like some black line which go around the sun like long black belts ; and all these things don't happen.
- it would be pressed at the two poles, for the centrifugal force, and it would appear as a sphere, but like a sausage.
Aren these not good informations to say that sun is a sphere and not a cube?
P.S.: I'm Italian, so I'm sorry if I make some mistakes.

The cube idea is utter rubbish, and totally unsubstantiated by any actual science. It's just unfounded gobbledeygook, and as a scientific theory is about as worthwhile as saying that space pixies push the planets along in space.
Fact: the Sun is made of hydrogen and helium, confirmed by spectoscopic analysis.
Fact: The Sun displays sunspots and other surface characteristics that are not consistent with anything in the cube hypothesis, but which fit the model of a gaseous sphere.
Fact: the Sun has been studied in detail for hundreds of years, and in uprecedented detail in the past 50 years since space probes became a reality.

the clarification the solar is referred to as a sphere is that once you get an astronomical physique of 600 miles in diameter or so, all the factors on its floor are being pulled inward the two on its floor. while this occurs, the main straight forward shape available interior the Universe seems to be a sphere. So, if its over 500-600 miles in diameter, it is going to take the form of an person-friendly sphere.

That sony kumari person advances an interesting case. But it is wrong. All the stars and planetary bodies in the Universe are tetrahedral, and I defy you to come up with any other regular solid that is less like a sphere and any assertion that is less likely to be true.

It's a sphere. Definitely.

That is nonsense. The Sun rotates very slowly and we can clearly see features on the surface, like sunspots.

It's a sphere. Just WHAT books have you been reading that said this, so people can keep their young, impressionable kids away from them?!?!?!?!?

that dudes an idiot. nothing naturally makes a cube when its the massive. gravity would make it sphere.

Yes, an ice cube, actually.
