How to Calculate Sphere
What is Sphere?
A sphere is a perfectly round 3D object where every point on the surface is equidistant from the center. It encloses the maximum volume for a given surface area — a property used by bubbles and cells.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Volume = (4/3) × π × r³
- 2Surface area = 4 × π × r²
- 3Diameter = 2r
Worked Examples
Input
r = 5
Result
V=523.60, SA=314.16
(4/3)π(125), 4π(25)
Input
r = 10
Result
V=4188.79, SA=1256.64
Volume × 8, SA × 4 when r doubles
