What is the point of intersection of a circle of a sphere with tangent line or plane?

The point of intersection of a tangent line or plane with a circle on a sphere is the single point where the line or plane touches the circle. This point is unique because, by definition, a tangent line or plane only intersects a circle at one point without passing through it. If the tangent is from an external point, it signifies that the line or plane is just "touching" the circle at that specific location. In three-dimensional space, this concept illustrates the relationship between the geometry of the sphere and the properties of tangents.


Does the earth have only two hemipheres?

earth is a sphere... hemisphere means half of a sphere...


What is tangent to a circle?

"Tangent" to a circle means touching the circle at one point, and only one point. Think of a skinny bicycle wheel standing on the ground. The ground is 'tangent' to the wheel.


Why is a sphere not called a polyhedron?

Because the literal meaning of polyhedron means 'many faces' A sphere has only one face.


A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arcs?

tangent


What is the difference between spherical and circle?

A sphere is a three dimentional shape, a circle is a two dimentional shape. You can't pick up a circle, it can only be drawn. In differential geometry, a one dimensional sphere is a point, a two dimensional sphere is a circle and a three dimensional sphere is what we call a "sphere", there is no limit to the number of dimensions a sphere can have.


If the surfaces of two spheres S and T with radii 7 and 12 respectively intersect at one point only then the distance between the center of sphere s and the center of sphere T is what?

The distance between the center of sphere S and the center of sphere T is 19.


A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arc's radius is said to be?

tangent


Describe all of the point symmetries that a sphere would have?

A sphere has one point of symmetry (at its very center) if one considers rotational symmetry in its three dimensions. If one is only considering reflectional symmetry, it would have an infinite number of lines of symmetry.


What does a sphere with a tangent look like?

If your question is " What is the shape of a sphere's tangent?" , then the answer is : a plane. A plane basically touches the sphere at only one point and hence , it should be a plane. It cannot be a straight line , as a straight line is a tangent for 2D objects,( ie.) a circle.


How many surface does a sphere have?

A sphere has a single curved surface. It is said to have one surface. Further, the sphere has no "flat spots" or "angles" or "discontinuities" of any kind. It is a planar figure that is the set of all points equidistant from a single point, which is its center.A sphere has only one surface.


What points point that the earth is a sphere?

Imagine that you are on a beach and there will be a boat coming, if the Earth is flat, you should see the whole boat, but if it a sphere, you should only see the sail first. If you are unsure, try this idea.
