A major arc of a circle that has the same starting and ending point is referred to as a "semicircle" if it encompasses half the circle. However, if it extends beyond that, it can simply be described as a "major arc" of the circle. In essence, the key characteristic is that it covers more than 180 degrees of the circle's circumference.

What is a major sector of a circle?

A sector of a circle is the region enclosed by two radii and the circumference. If you draw a picture, you can see that there are actually two regions formed. One has an angle of 180 degrees or less at the center, and the other has an angle of 180 degrees or more. A sector which occupies more than half of the circle is a major sector. To put it more succinctly, a major sector is enclosed by two radii and a major arc of a circle.
