A radius is a straight line from the circumference (boundary) of a circle to the centre. A diameter is a straight line that goes from the circumference to the centre and then continues until it reaches the circumference of the other side. In a circle, all points on the circumference are the same distance from the centre. As a result, the second part of the diameter is the same as the first. In other words, diameter = radius + radius = 2*radius.
