Sphere

Slideshow

A sphere is a geometric body generated by a semicircle that rotates around one of its diameters. It can also be defined as the geometric body limited by a surface whose points are equidistant from a point called the center. The distance from the center to the surface is called the radius (r). Carpinteyro Vigil, E. (2018).

A sphere is a geometric body generated by a semicircle that rotates around one of its diameters.

Carpinteyro Vigil, E. (2018).

 

That is, the sphere is a body or solid of revolution, since it can be obtained by rotating a figure or flat surface around an axis. These types of figures are distinguished by not having flat faces, like a polygon, but a curved surface. (Westreicher, December 22, 2020)

Sphere elements

Axis: It is the imaginary line on which the semicircle that forms the sphere rotates.

Center: It is the equidistant point to any point of the contour of the sphere, that is, of the spherical surface.

Radius (Segment AD): It is the distance between the center and any point of the spherical surface.

Chord: It is the segment that joins any two points of the spherical surface.

Diameter (Segment BC): It is that string that has the peculiarity of passing through the center of the sphere. Its length is twice the radius.

Axis: It is the imaginary line with respect to which the semicircle that forms the sphere rotates.

Meridians: They are the circumferences that are obtained by cutting the sphere with planes that house the axis.

Parallels: They are the circumferences resulting from cutting the sphere with planes that are perpendicular to the axis (that cut the axis forming an angle of 90º).

Ecuador: It is the circumference obtained by cutting the sphere with a plane perpendicular to the axis and which, in turn, contains the center of the figure. It can also be defined as the parallel with the greatest length.

Poles (Point B and Point C): These are the points of the axis located at the top and bottom of the spherical surface.
