Spherical lune



In spherical geometry, a spherical lune is an area on a sphere bounded by two half great circles which meet at antipodal points, and is an example of a digon, {2}θ, with dihedral angle θ. The word "lune" derives from luna, the Latin word for Moon.
A spherical wedge is the volume of space bounded by two planes passing through a sphere center and the surface of the sphere.
