A sphere is perfectly round, composed with set of points that are all the same distance from the centre of the sphere. A ball is an example of a sphere.

The volume of a sphere is 2/3 that of a circumscribed cylinder (Archimedes).

The radius r is the radius of the cross section of the sphere.

Surface Area of a Sphere

Hemisphere Surface Area

A sphere has only one single curved surface area (face). A sphere has no edges.

Formula

Surface Area (A)=4×π×radius squared
A=4 π r2
