What is the hypothetical sphere around the solar system?

The hypothetical sphere around the solar system is known as the Oort Cloud. It is a region of space theorized to contain icy objects and comets that extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto. The Oort Cloud is thought to be the source of long-period comets that occasionally enter the inner solar system.


Is coin a sphere?

No, a coin is not a sphere. Coins are typically circular in shape, and their structure is flat with two sides. A sphere is a three-dimensional round object in which all points on its surface are the same distance from its center.


What does sphere mean at all?

A sphere is a perfectly round three-dimensional geometric shape where every point on its surface is equidistant from its center. In mathematics, it represents a set of points in space that are all the same distance from a central point. The term "sphere" can also be used metaphorically to describe a field of activity or influence, such as in "the social sphere" or "the political sphere."


What is a flattened sphere called?

If by "flattened" you mean "like someone took a sphere and sat on it", that would be an oblate spheroid.


How is a planetarium similar to a celestial sphere?

The inside of a planetarium is a sphere with the stars and planets projected on to it. The celestial sphere is an infinite sphere that we imagine has the stars and planets on it. On the celestial sphere only an object's direction matters and its distance is ignored. A viewer at the centre of the planetarium sees stars and planets as they appear in the sky, but viewers in all the seats see approximately the right view.

What is a spatial figure where in all the points are of the same distance from the center inside the sphere?

A spatial figure where all points are the same distance from the center is called a sphere. In a sphere, every point on its surface is equidistant from the center point, which defines its radius. This property gives the sphere its perfect symmetry and uniformity in all directions.

What is a solid bounded by the set of all points of a given distance from a given point?

A solid bounded by the set of all points at a given distance from a specific point is called a sphere. The center of the sphere is the given point, and the radius is the specified distance. All points on the surface of the sphere are equidistant from the center, creating a three-dimensional shape.
