Sphere Volume and Surface Area Calculator

Enter the radius of the sphere.

Formula

Volume = 4/3 × π × r³ Surface = 4 × π × r²

Worked example

A ball with a 6 cm radius has a volume of 904.78 cm³ and a surface of 452.39 cm².

Frequently asked questions

How does the volume change if the radius doubles?

It is multiplied by 8, because the radius is cubed.

How do I get the radius from the diameter?

Divide the diameter by 2.

Is a hemisphere half the volume?

Yes, half of 4/3 × π × r³.
