Lobachevsky's work did not create spherical geometry; rather, he is known for developing hyperbolic geometry, which deviates from Euclidean principles. Spherical geometry, on the other hand, is based on the properties of figures on the surface of a sphere and includes concepts such as great circles and the sum of angles in a triangle exceeding 180 degrees. Both geometries are non-Euclidean, but they arise from different fundamental assumptions about space. Lobachevsky's contributions helped to expand the understanding of non-Euclidean geometries, including both hyperbolic and spherical forms.
