Sphere Surface Area Calculator

Compute the surface area enclosing a sphere using the formula 4πr².

Use for estimation only; double-check values for critical applications.

Examples

  • Radius 3 cm ⇒ 113.10 cm²
  • Radius 5 cm ⇒ 314.16 cm²
  • Radius 1.5 cm ⇒ 28.27 cm²

FAQ

Why 4πr²?

It's the standard formula for the surface area of a sphere.

Can radius be in meters?

Yes, any unit works; results will be in the squared unit.

Does this calculate volume?

No, it only gives surface area.
