Change div when clicking a button

Hi! I'm building a Magic Eight ball, and I would like the ball, which I've designed in CSS, to change appearance when clicking a button. Is there a way to make this in JavaScript? To activate a transition from .ball to .ball-change? Thanks in advance.

.ball {
  margin: 0 auto;
  font-size: 3em;
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  display: inline-flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items:center;
  padding: 25px;
  color: white;
  background-color: gray;
  border-radius: 100%;
  margin-bottom: 30px;
  border: 30px solid black;
  box-shadow: 3px 4px 5px #A9A9A9;
  transition: all 1s ease-out;
}

.ball-change {
  padding: 60px;
  background-color: blue;
  font-size: 5em;
  transition: all 1s ease-out;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

You could use element.classList.toggle(). Here's a link that may help explain it's use: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_toggle_class.asp

Hope this helps!
