What are Circle and Radian

Definition of Circle

A circle is a two-dimensional shape consisting of all the points in a plane that are at a constant distance, known as the radius, from a fixed point, called the center. The distance around the circle, or the perimeter, is called the circumference. Circles are fundamental in geometry and appear in various natural and man-made forms.

Definition of Radian

A radian is a unit of angular measure used in mathematics and engineering. It is defined as the angle created by taking the radius of a circle and wrapping it along the circle's edge. One radian is the angle at which the arc length is equal to the radius. There are 2π radians in a full circle.
