The Volume of a Sphere calculator computes the volume of a sphere (V) based on the radius of the sphere (r).

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

• (r)  the radius of the sphere.

Sphere Volume (V): The Volume of the Sphere (v) is returned in cubic meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to numerous other volume units (e.g. cubic feet, gallons and barrels) via the pull-down menu.

#### The Math / Science

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3•π•r³
