What's the real shape of stars?

Answer 1

Spherical, of course.

Answer 2

they are all spherical. However there are little imperfections on the surface which rise and fall a few meters in either way. Otherwise, any star would be spherical (a star is a ball of gas/plasma) and can only be spherical as the molecules are free to move anywhere they like, unlike planets and asteroids which have a fixed shape if you get what i mean)

However, the star's 'shape' would change if the presence of an external gravitational field. The star would budge slightly to the direction of the external mass present. If the mass is large, the larger the budge. Sometimes, the mass is so large (white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes) what they are literally able to suck the gas out of the star. You would then see a white hot stream of gas connecting the star and the dense object.

Answer 3

Most stars are spherical in shape (due to gravity).

However, some stars are more egg-shaped - these are usually stars in a close binary system and their gravity has distorted each other.

A few extremely rapidly spinning stars have a noticeable bulge at their equator due to the centrifugal force of rotation.

Answer 4

They are the shape of the sun (spherical) because the sun is a star.

Names of stars: Blue giants, Red supergiants, red giants, white dwarfs, and main sequence stars.

Hope this hepled

Answer 5

Oblate spheroids. This applies to the main sequence. There are deformities during other stages of stellar life that changes this.

Answer 6

the star has more and more a slender shape

Answer 7

Basically round, like our sun, but in all different sizes.

Answer 8

essentially round; they may be a little flattened due to fast rotation rates, but generally, very round.

Answer 9

stars are basically balls of gas, so essentially they are round.

Answer 10

spherical.

it's basically a floating ball of gas and thermo-nuclear explosions.
