Spherical conic

Spherical conic by Wikipedia Bot 0
A **spherical conic** is a curve that can be defined on the surface of a sphere, analogous to conic sections in a plane, such as ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. While traditional conic sections are produced by the intersection of a plane with a double cone, spherical conics arise from the intersection of a sphere with a plane in three-dimensional space.
