…There is only one great circle that passes through two points A and B on a sphere, unless A and B are antipodes, but there are an infinite number of great circles if A and B are antipodes. The curve on a sphere that connects two points A and B on a sphere has the shortest length, the (minor) arc of the great circle that passes through A and B, and this length is called the spherical distance between A and B. The area of a sphere with radius r is 4π r 2 , and the volume of the sphere is 4/3π r 3. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "spherical distance" are listed below.
