A sphere is a 3D shape that looks like a ball. Every point on the surface of a sphere is the same distance from the center. Think of a basketball, a globe, or even a marble! Understanding spheres helps us describe the world around us and is a key concept in geometry. Let's find some spheres and learn their names!
