sphere
Globe's geometric form
A sphere is a perfectly round three-dimensional shape—every point on its surface equidistant from the center.
Balls, globes, and bubbles approximate spheres.
The word extends to domains of activity or influence: the political sphere, outside my sphere of expertise.
The celestial spheres were the concentric shells ancient astronomers believed carried the planets and stars around Earth.
