spherical
adj. shaped like a sphere, globular; of or pertaining to a sphere; of or pertaining to a celestial body


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Sphere
A sphere is a symmetrical geometrical object. In non-mathematical usage, the term is used to refer either to a round ball or to its two-dimensional surface. In mathematics, a sphere is the set of all points in three-dimensional space (R3) which are at distance r from a fixed point of that space, where r is a positive real number called the radius of the sphere. Thus, in three dimensions, a mathematical sphere is considered to be a spherical surface, rather than the volume contained within it. The fixed point is called the center or centre, and is not part of the sphere itself. The special case of r = 1 is called a unit sphere.
