AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a unit sphere inscribed in a cone. First, draw a unit sphere centered at the origin with a radius of 1. Then, draw a cone with its base circle at the bottom of the sphere and its apex at the top of the sphere. Next, draw two tangents to the sphere and the cone, find their intersection point D. Draw the spherical surface of the sphere, the side surface of the cone, the line segment from the bottom of the sphere to the base of the cone, a line perpendicular to this line segment, and find its intersection with the line segment. Draw the line segment FG and measure the angle CGF. Finally, draw the loci under specific conditions.
