In Euclidean geometry, a circle is the set of all points in a plane at a fixed distance, called the radius, from a fixed point, the centre. The points can only be those that are part of a conic section; within the set of a plane normal to the axis of a right cone. Circles are simple closed curves, dividing the plane into an interior and exterior. Sometimes the word circle is used to mean the interior, with the circle itself called the circumference(C). Usually, however, the circumference means the length of the circle, and the interior of the circle is called a disk. An arc is any continuous portion of a circle. Circles are named by their centre, e.g. Circle O. A circle curves to 360 degrees.
