Which type of shape can read represent a two dimensional cross-section of a sphere?

A two-dimensional cross-section of a sphere is represented by a circle. When a plane intersects a sphere, the intersection forms a circular shape, with the size of the circle varying depending on how the plane cuts through the sphere. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere, the resulting circle will have the largest diameter, while other intersections will produce smaller circles.
