Formula
The Hemisphere Calculator uses the formula:
Volume = 2 ÷ 3 × 3.141592653589793 × Radius ^ 3
Worked example
For example, with radius of 6 units, the volume is 452.3893.

Key terms explained
Surface area
The total area of all the outer faces of a three-dimensional object.
Radius
The distance from the centre of a circle or sphere to its edge.
Volume
The amount of three-dimensional space an object occupies, measured in cubic units.
Area
The amount of two-dimensional space a shape covers, measured in square units.
Frequently asked questions
It is half a sphere's volume: V = 2⁄3 πr³. A hemisphere of radius 6 has a volume of about 452.39 cubic units.
Total surface area is 3πr², which is the curved half plus the flat circular base. For radius 6 it is about 339.29 square units.
The curved surface is 2πr², and adding the flat circular base of πr² gives 3πr² in total.
It is exactly half of a sphere, like a dome or a bowl shape cut through the centre.
