Are lines on a sphere in the same plane?
Not necessarily. A plane dissecting a sphere would create a circle in that plane. so in order for the "line" to be both on the plane and the sphere the line would have to be a curve or segment of a circle.
Is plane a flat surface that has no boundaries?
plane perras
Is a sphere a plane shape or a solid shape?
plane shape
Intersection of sphere and plane that contains center of a sphere?
great circle
How many planes of symmetry does a sphere have?
A sphere has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. The plane must include the center of the sphere, but it can tilt at any angle. The question is the same as asking "How many planes can be drawn through one point ?" The answer is: An infinite number. And as long as the point is the center of the sphere, each plane is a plane of symmetry of the sphere.
What is the intersection of the sphere with the yz plane?
The intersection of a sphere with a plane is a point, or a circle.

Is sphere a plane figure if not why?
Yes a sphere can be considered to be a curved plane 3 dimensional figure.
Will the intersection of a plane and a sphere always be a circle or can it be a point also?
It will be a point if the plane is tangent to the sphere.
How can you divide a sphere in 8 equal parts in 3 steps?
To divide a sphere in 8 equal parts in three steps: * Cut a plane through the most circular part of the sphere - this cuts the sphere in half * Cut a plane perpendicular to the first plane with the lengths aligned - this cuts the sphere in four pieces * Cut a plane perpendicular to the first plane at a right angle to the second plane - this cuts the sphere into eight pieces

What plane shape can you get by tracing a sphere?
a circle!
What is the plane surface of the earth?
There isn't one. The Earth is a sphere and has no "plane surface".
