A torus is a shape like a doughnut or tyre innertube: the shape that is formed if a circle is spun or rotated about a centre that is outside the circle.

Picture a coin being whirled around in big circle at the end of a string: this creates a torus. The two defining dimensions are the diameter of the big circle (the length of the string) and the diameter of the small circle (the coin).
