The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
The point of intersection of a tangent line or plane with a circle on a sphere is the single point where the line or plane touches the circle. This point is unique because, by definition, a tangent line or plane only intersects a circle at one point without passing through it. If the tangent is from an external point, it signifies that the line or plane is just "touching" the circle at that specific location. In three-dimensional space, this concept illustrates the relationship between the geometry of the sphere and the properties of tangents.
A line tyhat's tangent to a circle intersects the circle in exactly one single point. The radius drawn to that point is perpendicular to the tangent.
Point of Tangency
That's a tangent to the circle.

The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle

A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
tangent
A line tyhat's tangent to a circle intersects the circle in exactly one single point. The radius drawn to that point is perpendicular to the tangent.
Point of Tangency
A tangent.
That's a tangent to the circle.
Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]
