Worked example

Find the volume when Radius = 5 cm.

Using V = 4/3π r³: Volume = 523.6 cm³.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Volume of a sphere?

V = 4/3π r³.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Volume in cm³, Radius in cm.

How do you calculate volume?

Put the values into V = 4/3π r³. For example, with Radius = 5 cm, volume = 523.6 cm³.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (volume, radius) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
