In geometry, a spherical polyhedron or spherical tiling is a tiling of the sphere in which the surface is divided or partitioned by great arcs into bounded regions called spherical polygons. A polyhed
This beach ball would be a hosohedron with 6 spherical lune faces if the 2 white caps on the ends were removed.

Truncated icosahedron
Videos
In geometry, the truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron that can be constructed by truncating all of the regular icosahedron's vertices. The polyhedron can be regarded as a football or a soccer ball, t

…onto the sphere to obtain a corresponding spherical polyhedron. The most familiar spherical polyhedron is the soccer ball, thought of as a spherical truncated icosahedron. The next most popular spherical polyhedron is the beach ball, thought of as a hosohedron. Some "improper" polyhedra, such as hosohedra and their duals…
