This file defines notions of spheres being tangent to affine subspaces and other spheres.

The affine subspace as is tangent to the sphere s at the point p.
Instances For
If two tangent lines to a sphere pass through the same point q,
then the distances from q to the tangent points are equal.
The affine subspace as is tangent to the sphere s at some point.

The set of all maximal tangent spaces to the sphere s.
Equations
Instances For
The set of all maximal tangent spaces to the sphere s containing the point p.
Equations
Instances For
The set of all maximal common tangent spaces to the spheres sβ and sβ.
Equations
Instances For
The set of all maximal common internal tangent spaces to the spheres sβ and sβ: tangent
spaces containing a point weakly between the centers of the spheres.
Equations
Instances For
The set of all maximal common external tangent spaces to the spheres sβ and sβ: tangent
spaces not containing a point strictly between the centers of the spheres. (In the degenerate case
where the two spheres are the same sphere with radius 0, the space is considered both an internal
and an external common tangent.)
Equations
Instances For
The spheres sβ and sβ are externally tangent at the point p.
Instances For
The sphere sβ is internally tangent to the sphere sβ at the point p (that is, sβ lies
inside sβ and is tangent to it at that point). This includes the degenerate case where the
spheres are the same.
Instances For
The spheres sβ and sβ are externally tangent at some point.
Equations
Instances For
The sphere sβ is internally tangent to the sphere sβ at some point.
