When a circle is rotated about a line that lies in the same plane as the circle and does not intersect it, the three-dimensional figure formed is a cylinder. If the line is outside the circle and parallel to its axis, the result is a cylindrical shell. If the line is the diameter of the circle, the figure formed is a sphere. The specific shape depends on the position of the line relative to the circle.

A polyhedron is a two-dimensional figure bounded by polygons?

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional figure formed by flat surfaces that are bounded by polygons joining along their sides (the faces of the polyhedron).A circle is not a polygon, but we can say that a circle is the limit of a regular polygon with n sides. It means that if n becomes larger and larger, the polygon shape approaches to a circle. A circle is a two dimensional figure as a polygon is, but a three dimensional figure whose base(s) is/are a circle cannot be called a polyhedron.
