This distance is called the radius. Because of this property, a sphere has no edges, corners, or flat surfaces—it is completely smooth and symmetrical in every direction. We can see spheres all around us in nature and everyday life, such as in planets, bubbles, and sports balls. Their roundness makes them ef
