A sphere is a round, three-dimensional shape.
All points on the edge of the sphere are at the same distance from the center.
The distance from the center is called the radius of the sphere. A real-world sphere is called a globe if it is large (such as the Earth), and as a ball if it is small, like an association football .
A Sphere
Common things that have the shape of a sphere are basketballs, superballs, DragonBalls and playground balls.
The Earth and the Sun are nearly spherical , meaning sphere-shaped.
A sphere is the three-dimensional analog of a circle .
