## Definition

template<typename Kernel>
class CGAL::Sphere_3< Kernel >

An object of type `Sphere_3` is a sphere in the three-dimensional Euclidean space \( \E^3\).

The sphere is oriented, i.e. its boundary has clockwise or counterclockwise orientation. The boundary splits \( \E^3\) into a positive and a negative side, where the positive side is to the left of the boundary. The boundary also splits \( \E^3\) into a bounded and an unbounded side. Note that the sphere can be degenerated, i.e. the squared radius may be zero.

Is Model Of:

  `Kernel::Sphere_3`

  `Hashable` if `Kernel` is a cartesian kernel and if `Kernel::FT` is `Hashable`

## Access Functions
const Point_3< Kernel > & | center () const
| returns the center of `c`.
Kernel::FT const & | squared_radius () const
| returns the squared radius of `c`.
Orientation const & | orientation () const
| returns the orientation of `c`.
