solid ball

Dense round object

A solid ball is a sphere that is filled throughout rather than hollow—a billiard ball rather than a ping-pong ball.

In geometry, the distinction matters: a sphere is technically just the surface, while a solid ball includes all interior points.

In pool, solid balls are the numbered balls 1-7, distinguished from stripes by their uniform color.
