MPL3D Solar System Rapid rotating stars

There are well known stars that rotate around themselves every few hours. This causes an equatorial enlargement that can be observed at this video, as well as the circumstellar disks and the gravity darkening due to the high rotational velocities.

why are they not a sphere?

[mpl3d]

@5000mahmud, they are not a sphere because the high spin speed.

They spin so fast that they get deformated to an ellipsoidal shape, with an enlarged equatorial radius.

@mpl3d ok but what will happen if you put a planet can you tell me plz

[mpl3d]

@5000mahmud, yes, a planet can exist orbiting these type of stars. They will have an ellipsoidal shaped sun in the sky. Interesting, isn't it?

[CHOPMOP10]

these are deadly dangerous stars no planets like earth could bare its violent behavior i like our sun( FOR NOW)

[mpl3d]

@CHOPMOP10, quite true, we are fortunate :)

@TheSwanprincess16, hey thanks.

[TheSwanprincess16]

good job

Indeed, the original uploaded video was that way. And the uploaded version was fine. Later, some YouTube processing damaged the audio.
