Torus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (649 words)
In geometry, a torus (pl. tori) is a doughnut-shaped surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle about an axis coplanar with the circle.
The sphere is a special case of the torus obtained when the axis of rotation is a diameter of the circle.
Intuitively speaking, this means that a closed path that circles the torus' "hole" (say, a circle that traces out a particular latitude) and then circles the torus' "body" (say, a circle that traces out a particular longitude) can be deformed to a path that circles the body and then the hole.
