• Radius: distance from the center to any point on the spherical surface;
• Chord: straight line segment connecting two points on the spherical surface
• Diameter: straight line segment joining two points on spherical surface, which passes through the center;
• Poles: points of intersection of the vertical rotation axis with the spherical surface.
