A figure created in three-dimensional space by rotating a curve around an axis. When the interior is included, it is called a body of revolution. A sphere is created by rotating a circle (or semicircle) around a straight line, and a cone is created by rotating one of the intersecting straight lines around an axis. In the case of two straight lines that are not on the same plane, rotating one around the other results in a clockwise hyperboloid of revolution.

3次元空間で,1つの軸のまわりに曲線を回転してつくった図形をいう。内部を含めていうときは回転体 body of revolutionという。円 (もしくは半円) を直線のまわりに回転したのが球面であり,交わる直線を一方を軸として回軸すると円錐面になる。同一平面上にない2本の直線の場合は,一方を他方のまわりに回転すると,鼓形の回転双曲面が得られる。
