The Sun is usually shown by which shape in a drawing?

Circle

In simple drawings, the Sun is commonly represented by a circle because the visible body of the Sun appears round. Artists may add short lines or rays around the circle to show light and heat, but the central shape remains circular. This is an example of using a basic geometric shape to represent a familiar object. A drawing does not need to copy every scientific detail; it uses an easily recognised visual symbol.

Option A is correct because a circle is the common basic shape used for the Sun. A square or rectangle has straight sides and corners, so either would be a less usual representation in a simple school drawing. A triangle may be used for other objects, but it does not normally show the round solar disk. Thus, recognising the familiar form leads directly to option A.
