There is no equation for the "scale factor" of a sphere. If I assume you to mean how the volume increases with radius then you would use the volume equation for a sphere and calculate volume based on corresponding radii. You could then divide the resultant volumes to give a percentage or factor of how much larger or small one sphere is than another. You'll see that a small change in radius causes a large change in volume due to the volume being a cubic factor of the radius.

What is an equation that shows that two ratios or rates are equivalent?
scale factor
What is the algebraic equation if 12 is the perimeter the scale factor is r and the new perimeter is p?
12r = p
How does a scale factor relate to a scale factor?
Tautologically!
What is the equation of sphere?
The equation of a sphere with radius r, centered at (x0 ,y0 ,z0 ) is (x-x0 )+(y-y0 )+(z-z0 )=r2
How does scale factor relate to perimeter?
Scale factor and perimeter are related because if the scale factor is 2, then the perimeter will be doubled. So whatever the scale factor is, that is how many times the perimeter will be enlarged.
