Sphere

A sphere is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is perfectly symmetrical around its center. Every point on the surface of a sphere is the same distance from its center. This distance is known as the radius of the sphere. For example, in the case of a sphere with radius , any point on its surface is exactly units away from its center.

The surface area of a sphere is calculated using this formula:

The volume of a sphere is calculated using the formulas:
