A great circle is any circle whose center is also the center of the sphere.

You could try this way: Spread ink on a sheet of paper. Set the sphere on the paper

so that it picks up a mark from the ink, and at the same time, place a mark on the

highest point of the sphere. Then draw any circle on the sphere that includes those

two points.

As we read the question, we were fascinated by the implication that you have

spheres with more or less than 3 dimensions.

How to draw great circles and small circles drawn?

To draw a great circle on a sphere, start by defining the diameter as the largest circle that can be drawn on the sphere's surface. For small circles, choose a point on the sphere and draw a circle with that point as the center and the radius less than the sphere's radius. Remember that the center of a small circle lies outside the circle on a sphere's surface.

What are the great circles of earth?

A great circle is a circle on a sphere that divides the sphere into two equal halves. It is the longest distance that can be traveled on the surface of a sphere. The equator can be described as a great circle, as can each line of longitude. See the related link for more information. A great circle route is the shortest distance between any two points on the earth, and is always a curve on a plane containing the two points and the center of the earth. It is the largest possible circle that can be made on the earth's surface that contains the two points.
