It's surprising to hear it described that way, since very few circles have 'sides'.
A line that passes through the center of the circle and extends as far as possible from the center without
leaving the circle is the 'diameter'.
That's the diameter.
A chord of a circle is a straight line that joins any two points on the circumference of a circle. The diameter of a circle is the length of the chord that passes through the centre of the circle; it is the chord of longest length and is twice the radius of the circle in length.
That's a 'chord' of the circle.If it passes through the center of the circle, then it's also called a 'diameter'of the circle, and no other chord of that circle can be longer than it is.
No. A chord is a straight line drawn between any two points on the circumference of a circle. The longest chord is when the points are on opposite sides of the centre of the circle (and passes through the centre of the circle). The straight line which joins the points on opposite sides of the centre (through the centre) is called the diameter of the circle. Therefore the longest chord possible is the diameter of the circle. A circle with a diameter of 15 in can have a chord with a maximum length of 15 in.
radius Additional answer Actually, the radius is the line that joins the centre to the circumference. The line that compasses draw to trace a circle is just that, a circle.
That's the diameter.

The Danube flows through Belgrade, and the Sava joins it there.
"100 degrees west" is the description of a line that joins the north and south poles, and passes through every possible latitude.

In the southeast of Wales. It passes through Newport and joins the Severn Estuary.
The diameter joins together the circumference of the sphere and it passes through the center of the sphere.
No. A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle whereas a radius joins only one point on the circumference to the circle centre. A diameter is a straight line joining two points on the circumference (via the circle's centre) and so is also a chord. (Yes, but the question is about a radius, not a diameter!)
Axis is an imaginary line which runs through the centre of the Earth in a tilted manner and joins the Noth and Soth Poles
