spherical symmetry in a sentence

Examples

2. Dimension 3 is particularly studied  see point groups in three dimensions, polyhedral groups, and list of spherical symmetry groups.
3. His calculations showed that implosion would work if it did not depart by more than 5 % from spherical symmetry.
4. Due to the spherical symmetry of the system, it is natural to use spherical coordinates r, \ theta and \ phi.
