Why is radius the only input?
The sphere’s symmetry means volume and area both come directly from radius, so no additional measures are required.

- volume
- surface area
Detailed procedure
Step 1
Enter the sphere radius.
Step 2
Optionally adjust decimal precision for engineering or academic work.
Step 3
Read volume and surface area in the matching output block.
Teaching & troubleshooting tips
Can I enter diameter instead?
Yes—divide the diameter by two to get radius first, then enter that value for precise results.
