No. A side normally means a flat surface and a sphere does not have one. It does have one curved surface.

No. A side has to be flat or it is not a side. There is no flatness on a sphere.
Good question!
Because there is no flat side to a sphere.
To determine empty space, we will assume that the sphere fits snugly(so that each side of the cube is touching the sphere). First, we take the volume of the cube, which is just one of its side lengths cubed(side length X side length X side length). Record this quantity. Then we find the volume of the sphere. The formula for the volume of a shere is (4/3) Pi r cubed. Since the sphere fits snugly, we know that the radius is half of the side length. We then take the cube volume and subtract the sphere volume, and that is the empty space remaining.
A sphere
Its a sphere.
Volume of cube = (side length )3 Volume of a sphere = 4/3*pi*r3 Looks like the sphere by a long shot, but let's see. Volume cube = (4)3 64 === The sphere has more volume.
