Is a sphere 360 degrees

Answer 1

We can't say how many degrees there are in a sphere, any more than we

can say how many feet there are in an acre. Feet are a measure of

length, and an acre is an area, not a length. You can't measure an

area with a tape measure. Likewise, degrees are a measure of an angle;

you can sweep out a circle by swinging a line through an angle of 360

degrees. But you can't sweep out a sphere by swinging a line through

some angle, so angle measure won't do to measure a sphere.
