great circle
We're having a hard time making out the dark grey area from here. But the intersection of a plane and a sphere is always a circle.
A Circle.
A circle, which could degenerate to a point.
A two-dimensional cross-section of a sphere is represented by a circle. When a plane intersects a sphere, the intersection forms a circular shape, with the size of the circle varying depending on how the plane cuts through the sphere. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere, the resulting circle will have the largest diameter, while other intersections will produce smaller circles.
The dark area is so dark that I'm unable to see it from here. But I do know that in general, the intersection of a plane and a sphere is a circle.
The intersection of a sphere with a plane is a point, or a circle.
It will be a point if the plane is tangent to the sphere.

A sphere has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. The plane must include the center of the sphere, but it can tilt at any angle. The question is the same as asking "How many planes can be drawn through one point ?" The answer is: An infinite number. And as long as the point is the center of the sphere, each plane is a plane of symmetry of the sphere.
It is a circle or a sphere
Half of a sphere cut by a plane passing through its center.
hemispheres
A sphere is a whole, and a hemisphere is a part or half.
