Definition

An object of type Sphere_3 is a sphere in the three-dimensional Euclidean space \( \E^3\).

The sphere is oriented, i.e. its boundary has clockwise or counterclockwise orientation. The boundary splits \( \E^3\) into a positive and a negative side, where the positive side is to the left of the boundary. The boundary also splits \( \E^3\) into a bounded and an unbounded side. Note that the sphere can be degenerated, i.e. the squared radius may be zero.
