Sphere

A sphere is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is perfectly round, with all points on its surface equidistant from the center. It is a type of geometric solid and is defined by the radius, which is the distance from the center of the sphere to any point on its surface. The formula for the volume and surface area of a sphere are:

Volume: V = (4/3)πr³

Surface Area: A = 4πr²
