Discuss the ratio of circumference to diameter for circles on the sphere.

the Euclidean radius is the distance to the (Euclidean) center of the circle -- which
is not a point on the sphere. But the circle also has a center on the
sphere -- this would be the North (or South) Pole for lines of
latitude. So the spherical radius of such a circle is different, namely
the spherical distance from the (spherical) center.

Derive formulas relating these various notions of radius and circumference.

In Schwarzschild geometry, the distance between two circles with different circumferences is larger than the Euclidean result, because the distance between the two circles is given by integrating dr/ (1 − rs/r) (where rs is a positive constant) along the radial path between them. Invent an embedding of the radial part of the Schwarzschild spatial geometry in one extra Euclidean dimension, that we will call the z dimension. What is the relationship between dr and dz of the one-dimensional “surface”...
