Can One Spiral Draw a Sphere?

BEHIND THE WORK

Can one spiral draw a sphere?

One point travels from the north pole to the south while circling the sphere nine times. The parametric equations x = sin t cos 18t, y = sin t sin 18t, and z = cos t keep every point exactly one unit from the center, so a single continuous line reveals the sphere.

Artismathic turns equations into visual art—one function at a time.
