Try an Example
Pick a scenario to see how the calculator works, then adjust the values
Basketball
A regulation NBA basketball with a radius of 12 cm.
Key values: r = 12 cm · V ≈ 7,238 cm³
Spherical Water Tank
A spherical water tank with a 2-meter radius holding drinking water.
Key values: r = 2 m · V ≈ 33.5 m³ ≈ 33,500 L
The Sphere Volume Calculator helps you determine the volume of any spherical object. Perfect for calculating volumes of balls, globes, tanks, and any spherically-shaped containers.
Formula
V = (4/3) × π × r³
Pro Tip
For hollow spheres, calculate the outer and inner volumes separately, then subtract to find the volume of the shell.
