How to Calculate Volume of a Sphere

Calculating the volume of a sphere is straightforward when you understand the formula and have the correct measurements.

Volume Formula

V = (4/3) × π × r³

Parameter Explanation

Radius (r)

  • • Distance from center to any point on surface
  • • All radii are equal in a sphere
  • • Must be positive number
  • • Units: cm, m, mm, in, ft

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between radius and diameter?

The radius is half the diameter. If you have the diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius before using this calculator.

Can I use this calculator for ellipsoids?

No, this calculator is specifically for spheres. For ellipsoids, the calculation requires different formulas with multiple axes.

What units should I use?

You can use any consistent unit system (metric or imperial). The result will be in the same unit cubed.

Tips & Notes

  • • All points on a sphere's surface are equidistant from center
  • • Sphere volume is (4/3)πr³
  • • A sphere has the largest volume for a given surface area
  • • Hemisphere volume is half of sphere volume
