Volume of a Sphere

Volume of a Sphere
\[V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\]

Variables

Vsphere volume
rsphere radius

Description

What is this formula?

This formula calculates the volume of a sphere from its radius. A sphere is a perfectly symmetrical three-dimensional object where every point on the surface is at the same distance from the center.


When to use it

Use this formula when you need to determine the internal volume of spherical objects such as tanks, balls, planets, bubbles, or storage vessels.


Example

If the radius of a sphere is 2 m:


V = (4/3)π(2)^3


V ≈ 33.51 m³


Applications

- Geometry and mathematics

- Physics calculations

- Mechanical engineering

- Tank and vessel design

- Astronomy and planetary science

- 3D modeling
