# Spherical Geometry Spherical geometry is the study of geometric figures on the surface of a sphere, where "lines" are great circles (circles whose centers coincide with the sphere's center). Unlike Euclidean geometry, the angles of a triangle sum to more than 180°, and parallel lines don't exist since all great circles eventually intersect. **Key formula - Spherical excess:** For a spherical triangle with angles α, β, and γ on a sphere of radius r: - Area = r²E, where E = α + β + γ - π (E is the spherical excess in radians)
