Why is the diameter of a sphere the longest distance on a sphere and not the distance from the center of the sphere to any point on the surface of the sphere? Explain in 3 sentences

Answer 1

The diameter of a sphere is the longest distance from any two points on the surface of the sphere because it passes through the center, which is equidistant from all points on the surface. The distance between the center and any point on the surface is called the radius, and it is shorter than the diameter. Therefore, the diameter can be considered the longest distance on the sphere.
