A sphere is characterized by a very unique point group known as R3 (Full Rotation Group). A sphere has an infinite number of C2, C3, etc. up to Cinfinity as well as Cinfinite perpendicular axes and an infinite number of mirror planes on every plane and in between each plane. A sphere even has Sinfinity operations and multiple inversion operations. Every symmetry operation known is able to be performed on a sphere an infinite number of times in all directions.
No molecules actually fit into the R3 symmetry group and in fact, only objects, images, and atoms fit into this category.

Properties of a sphere?
Every point on the surface of a sphere is the same distance from a fixed point in 3-dimensional space.
Does a sphere have lateral area?
It is incorrect to say that sphere has lateral area. First sphere do not have sides like other geometric figure. In fact a line or plane can intersect the surface of a sphere in just one point. Sphere has no lateral side. It is enough to say surface area of sphere than lateral surface area of the sphere.
A solid figure that is the set of all points and that are the same distance from a given point is what?
A sphere
What is a round three dimensional object where all points on the surface are an equal from its center point?
A sphere, globe, or ball.If the word missing from the question is "distance",then the object is a sphere,
What solid shape has no face?
Since a sphere is round it is a shape without a face.
