ViviOh, dude, a sphere can't roll in a straight line. I mean, it's like trying to make a cat walk in a straight line - just not gonna happen. The shape of a sphere makes it roll in a curved path because of physics and stuff. So yeah, if you want something to roll straight, pick a different shape, like a cube or something.
Yes, a sphere can roll in a straight line if there is no external force or torque acting on it. When a sphere is rolling without slipping, its center of mass moves in a straight line while the sphere rotates about that center. This motion is governed by the principle of conservation of angular momentum and linear momentum.

What is the radius of circle?
The radius of a circle or sphere is a straight line from the centre to the edge.
What is a solid with no flat faces and can roll?
a sphere
What is the diameter circumference?
Diameter is the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere and connecting two points on the circumference of the circle or the surface of the sphere. Circumference is the length of the closed curve of a circle.
What is a flat surface of a solid that does not roll?
A face.
What is the diamater of a circle?
The diameter of a circle or sphere is the length of a straight line that touches both sides and passes through the centre.
