A cube is a 3D version of a square, a sphere is a 3D circle.
Difference: a cube has 6 square flat sides, but the sphere has an infinite number of flat triangular sides. Since a sphere is made of an infinite number of points equal distant from the center, you can connect any three of those points forming a triangle that does not encompass another point on that sphere, then lay a plane in contact with those 3 points to form one of the infinite number of triangular flat sides. You can argue that in theory this is impossible, but with practical reasoning it is possible if the sphere is to indeed have any surface at all.

A sphere of radius r is inscribed in a cube what is the volume enclosed between the cube and sphere?
volume of the cube - volume of the sphere = volume enclosed between the cube and sphere
How are a cube and a sphere different?
a cube and a sphere are different because is more of a square shape and a sphere is cylindrical
Which is easier to balance on a stick a cube or a sphere?
A cube because when you blance a sphere it falls down but if you blance a cube it will be easir because a cube has for sides
Analogy for cube?
square - cube as circle - sphere
The largest sphere to be curved out of a right circular cylinder of radius 7centimeter and height 14centimeter. Find the volume of the sphere.?
Let the radius of the largest sphere that can be carved out of the cube be r cm.The largest sphere which can be carved out of a cube touches all the faces of the cube.∴ Diameter of the largest sphere = Edge of the cube⇒ 2r = 7 cm∴ Volume of the largest sphere
