They say that the Earth is an oblate sphereoid because due to its rotation, it bulges along the equator, making it not a perfect sphere.
If this is true, why does it apply to earth but not the sun? Why does the sun appear to be a perfect circle, if it is rotating like the Earth, why does it not bulge into an oblate spheroid instead of remaining a circle?
