 SPHERE
A Sphere is a solid bounded by closed surface every point of
which is equidistant from a fixed point called the center.
 PROPERTIES OF SPHERE
 Every section in the sphere made by a cutting plane is a
circle. If the cutting plane passes through the center of the
sphere, the section made is a great circle; otherwise, the
section is a small circle.

 For a particular circle of a sphere, the axis is the diameter of

the sphere perpendicular to the plane of the circle.

 The ends of the axis of the circle of a sphere are

called poles.

 The nearer the circle to the center of the sphere, the greater
is its area.
 PROPERTIES OF SPHERE

 The largest circle in the sphere is the great circle.

 The radius (diameter) of the great circle is the radius

(diameter) of the sphere.

 All great circles of a sphere are equal.

 Every great circle divides the sphere into two equal parts
called hemispheres.
