Electric Charge as the Cause of the Nearly Perfect Spherical Shape of the Sun
Abstract
It has been reported that the difference between the polar diameter of the Sun and the equatorial diameter is fractionally only 7.5 x 10-6 , that is to say, the Sun is – surprisingly - an almost perfect sphere. The explanation for this phenomenon is that the Sun holds a positive electric charge which produces an evenly distributed repulsive effect which overrides all other effects.
