Non-Euclidean Geometry
A great circle is the largest possible circle that can be drawn on a sphere, resulting from the intersection of the sphere with a plane that passes through the center of the sphere. Great circles are fundamental in understanding various geometric properties on spheres, such as the shortest distance between two points, which connects them to concepts like area and excess in non-Euclidean settings and spherical trigonometry.
