Illustration of 2 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, are externally tangent to the circle. The illustration could be used as a 3-dimensional drawing of a sphere.

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.
