The base is the area which makes contact with the surface that the object is resting on. A ball, or "sphere" only makes contact with the table it lies on at a single point. The base is a single point.

By the same logic, a cube would have a square as a base. Just saying this so you would have two examples to see the logic behind it.

What is the difference between a black hole's photon sphere and its event horizon?

A black hole's photon sphere is the region around the black hole where photons can orbit in a stable circular path. The event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. In simpler terms, the photon sphere is where light can circle the black hole before falling in, while the event horizon marks the point of no return.

How are a sphere and a cone alike and different?

Spheres are spherical, with no base, and have no flat surfaces. Cones have a flat, circular base, with a circular altitude protruding from the edges of the circle. The altitude's diameter slowly diminishes until all edges reach eachother.
