SPHERES
Definitions
A three-dimensional solid bounded by a
surface consisting of all points equidistant
from an interior point called the center.
Radius is the line from the center to a
point on the spherical surface
Great circle is a plane passing through
the center
Small circle is a plane that does not pass
through the center
Definitions
Axis of a circle of a sphere is a diameter
of the sphere perpendicular to the plane of
the circle of the sphere
Poles of the circle are the endpoints of
the axis
Small circle is a plane that does not pass
through the center
