About
A sphere is a perfectly round three-dimensional shape, with this small model measuring just over an inch across.
In mathematics, a sphere can exist at any scale, from an atomic nucleus to a massive planet. This particular physical example has a pocket-sized diameter of 1.2 inches (3.1 cm). Spheres are mathematically unique because they hold the largest possible volume for any given surface area. Because of this physical efficiency, liquids naturally form spheres into droplets when floating freely.
From Wikipedia
A sphere is a surface analogous to the circle, a curve. In solid geometry, a sphere is the set of points that are all at the same distance r from a given point in three-dimensional space.
