A sphere is the set of points in three
dimensions that are a fixed distance from
a given point, the center. A plane that
intersects a sphere through its center
divides the two halves or hemispheres.
The edge of a hemisphere is a great
circle.

halfway between the volume of a cone
and a cylinder with the same radius r and
height equal to r.
