Abstract: We present a detailed study of the spherically symmetric solutions in Lorentz breaking massive gravity. There is an undetermined function $mathcalF(X,w_1,w_2,w_3)$ in the action of St"{u}ckelberg fields $S_{phi}=Lambd{a}^{4}int{d}^{4}xsqrt-gmathcalF$, which should be resolved through physical means. In the general relativity, the spherically symmetric solution to the Einstein equation is a benchmark and its massive deformation also play a crucial role in Lorentz breaking massive gravity. $mathcalF$ will satisfy the constraint equation $T_0^1=0$ from the spherically symmetric Einstein tensor $G_0^1=0$, if we maintain that any reasonable physical theory should possess the spherically symmetric solutions. The St"{u}ckelberg field $ph{i}^i$ is taken as a 'hedgehog' configuration $ph{i}^i=phi(r)x^i/r$, whose stability is guaranteed by the topological one. Under this ans"{a}tz, $T_0^1=0$ is reduced to $dmathcalF=0$. The functions $mathcalF$ for $dmathcalF=0$ form a commutative ring $R^{mathcalF}$. We obtain a general expression of solution to the functional differential equation with spherically symmetry if $mathcalFin{R}^{mathcalF}$. If $mathcalFin{R}^{mathcalF}$ and $partialmathcalF/partialX=0$, the functions $mathcalF$ form a subring $S^{mathcalF}subset{R}^{mathcalF}$. We show that the metric is Schwarzschild, AdS or dS if $mathcalFin{S}^{mathcalF}$. When $mathcalFin{R}^{mathcalF}$ but $mathcalFotin{S}^{mathcalF}$, we will obtain some new metric solutions. Using the general formula and the basic property of function ring $R^{mathcalF}$, we give some analytical examples and their phenomenological applications. Furthermore, we also discuss the stability of gravitational field by the analysis of Komar integral and the results of QNMs.
