Illustration of concentric ellipses, whose major axes are vertical, inscribed in a circle whose diameter is equal to the length of the major axes of the ellipses. The ellipses, which decrease in width in equal increments until the smallest one is a line, are externally tangent to the circle. The illustration could be described as a circle rotated about the poles of the vertical axis. It could also be used as a 3-dimensional drawing of a sphere.
