AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a sphere centered at the origin with radii rmin and rmax. Use rotation and distance calculations to illustrate the geometric properties and mathematical concepts of the sphere. First, draw two spherical surfaces with different radii. Then, use rotation and distance calculations to show the side and top tangents of the sphere. Finally, use rotation and distance calculations to demonstrate the cross-sections of the sphere at different angles.
