(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A small circle, of a sphere, is the circle constructed by a plane crossing the sphere not in its middle point. Small circles always have smaller diameters than the sphere itself (compare great circle).
The small circle does not have the smallest curvature, and hence, a segment on its circumference does not represent the smallest path between two points on a spherical surface.
