I'm not good in illustrator, but I believe you can. I just drew an image almost the same as the one above using illustrator to prove that it's possible.



In the first three images, the sphere was achieved using gradient feature.


Draw Circle
Gradient tool (G) (be sure to select the object)
Click Gradient (right side pannel along with the swatch/layers)
Select Radial in the selection
Change the desired color (at least 2 colors)
Click again the Gradient tool (G) to move the shadow or adjust the depth (you will see a control that you can play with after clicking this again)


For the fourth image from the left, follow the steps above (just change the color to blue and apply shadow: Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow.
Just play the x-offset and y-offset, be sure to tick "preview" to see actual change.

Now for the 3D objects using other method:


Select the object
Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel
Make sure to tick the "preview to see effect immediately"
Set the position (for that image, I think that was "Front"
You can play with it's depth, surface, and perspective (you can just drag the image in the dialog box using your mouse to position your object's perspective.

Adobe Illustrator isn't a 3D rendering program, so to create anything 3D in Illustrator requires that you simply draw it to look 3D.

How to draw something in 3D really isn't a topic specific to any particular drawing software, you just have to understanding some fundamentals of drawing...things like shading, color, shadows, gradients, highlights, etc.
