How do you get the circumference of a sphere?

pie times diameter is the circumference of a circle. a sphere is a 3-dimensional object and you dont take the circumference but rather you take the surface area. the circumference is to measure the total outside distance around the circle. the surface area is the measure the total outside distance around the sphere. remember a sphere is like a ball that is rounded. a circle is just a circle and can only be 2-dimensional.. like on paper


What does circumfrence mean?

Circumfrence is the perimeter of a circle, the line that makes a circle looks like a circle Imagine a perfect circle drawn on a piece of paper. Take the length of the line of the circle (by line I mean the part that is actually drawn on the piece of paper the ring) and there, you have the circumfrence. The circumfrence is exactly π times the size of the diameter (if you don't know what those two things are ignore this)

What is approximately equal to 3.1415?

Well, this is the constant Pi. Pi is equal to the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter. In simpler terms: Take any sized circle (go on, draw one on paper) and measure how long a piece of string it takes to wrap it once around the circle. This is the circumference of the circle. Now measure the longest distance you can measure in the circle, so that would be from one side to the other side of the circle, over the middle bit, and that value is the diameter. Now take a calculator and divide the circumference by the diameter and voila, you should see a number equal to 3.1415 Go to wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
