A sphere (from Greek σφαῖρα, sphaîra) [1] is a geometrical object that is a three-dimensional analogue to a two-dimensional circle. Formally, a sphere is the set of points that are all at the same distance r from a given point in three-dimensional space. [2]

- A sphere is three dimensional, geometrical shape, that has all its surface points equidistant from a common point. The distance between the surface...
- A sphere does not have any sides, since it is a round-shaped object. It has a curved surface and not a flat surface.
- A circle is a two dimensional shape, that has area and perimeter only. A sphere is a three dimensional shape, that has surface area and volume.
- A hemisphere is exactly half of a sphere. It has a curved surface and a flat surface.
- A sphere is symmetrical, round in shape. It is a three dimensional solid, that has all its surface points at equal distances from the center. It ha...
