Frisbee
A kind of flying disc · also called flying disc, disc
About
A frisbee is a lightweight plastic flying disc about 10.6 inches across, built to glide smoothly through the air.
While toy discs come in many dimensions, this 175-gram version is the standard size used in competitive ultimate disc sports. Disc golf drivers are typically smaller and heavier for their size, measuring around 8.3 inches across to cut through the wind. Despite spanning nearly eleven inches, a frisbee weighs less than a cup of water, which helps its curved rim trap air and stay aloft.
From Wikipedia
A frisbee, also called a flying disc or simply a disc, is a gliding toy or sporting item generally made of injection-molded plastic and roughly 20 to 25 centimetres in diameter with a pronounced lip. It is used recreationally and competitively for throwing and catching, as in flying disc games.
