Why is a bubble spherical?
The spherical shape is the smallest surface area for a given volume. This comes about naturally when a surface under pure surface tension contains a fluid volume.
How to Converting volume to surface area?
Volume=area * length of that surface
What kind of surface is a sphere?
At the risk of being tautological, the answer is SPHERICAL.
How to Maximize volume given surface area?
make it spherical
What is spherical geometry?
It is the geometry of a sphere as well as of shapes on the surface of the sphere.
Why are map projections not true representations of the earth's surface?
This is due to the distortions caused by taking a 3 dimensional sphere and converting it to a 2 dimensional layout.
Why are all maps of the world distorted?
Earth is three-dimensional, but maps are two-dimensional.
Is fermi surface always spherical?
No , Fermi Surface is not always spherical . Because the kinetic energy is not same.
Why do maps have distortion?
Try taking the peel of an orange and laying it out flat so that all the edges meet up - you can't! Well the earth is also a ball and when you try and represent the curved surface on a flat piece of paper it would behave like the orange peel. To make a flat map you have to make a projection of the earths round surface (there are a number of ways of doing this) and this introduces a distortion.

What problem do maps have that globes do not?
Maps that are projected on a plane surface will exhibit distortions in distance, area and direction which might be neglible over a small area such as a town or city, but can be substantial over larger areas. Cartographers compensate for these distortions in a number of ways, but usually one type of distortion is sacrificed to create accuracy in another dimension. Globes do not exhibit these distortions, but nearly all globes are made perfectly spherical which, in itself, introduces a slight distortion since Earth is a bit flattened at the poles.
Does a broken piece of a spherical mirror works as another spherical mirror?
Yes, spherical mirror is the part of a spherical reflecting surface.when it is broken the broken piece is also the part of the spherical reflecting surface.
What is a three-dimensional surface in which all points are equidistant from a fixed point?
A 'spherical' surface.
Why the raindrop is spherical?
rain drop is spherical since the surface tension of sphere is less when compared to other shapes.
How to Converting volume to surface area?
Volume=area * length of that surface
What are the example of surface tension?
the spherical water drops of a flower.
A spherical model of earths entire surface is called an?
globe
