= Toric section
{wiki=Toric_section}
A toric section refers to a curve obtained by intersecting a torus (the surface shaped like a doughnut) with a plane. The intersection can produce different types of curves depending on how the plane intersects the torus. The possible outcomes include: 1. **Circle**: If the plane intersects the torus parallel to its axis of rotation. 2. **Ellipse**: If the plane intersects the torus at an angle but does not pass through the central hole of the torus.
