An infinite cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that extends indefinitely in one direction, characterized by a circular base tapering to a point (the apex) without a defined height limit. Unlike a finite cone, which has a specific height and volume, an infinite cone continues to expand infinitely, making it an idealized mathematical concept rather than a physical object. In mathematics, it can be used in various contexts such as calculus and topology to explore properties of shapes and volumes.

Mathematically, a cone is infinite and so has no flat surface. The popular cone is actually a truncated cone and does have 1 flat surface.

If it is a right circular cone, it has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. If it is an oblique circular cone, it has one plane of symmetry.
Any plane that bisects a cone passing through the pointy tip and the diameter of the base i.e. through the axis of the cone, will be a plane of symmetry. Since any plane passing through the cone this way can be rotated by any angular increment and still remain a plane of symmetry, there are an infinite number of planes of symmetry.
An infinite number of curved sides
A cone has infinitely many symmetries. This is because a cone can be rotated about its axis an infinite number of times and still look the same. Additionally, a cone also has rotational symmetry, meaning that it looks the same when rotated by any multiple of 360 degrees.
An infinite of infinitely small ones. You would need to use calculus to calculate the volume of a cone given a single triangular cross-section.
The shape that is commonly known as a cone has two faces, one vertex and one edge. Mathematically, however, the cone has infinite height and so has one [curved] face and one vertex.
