Spherical segment
In geometry, a spherical segment is the solid defined by cutting a sphere with a pair of parallel planes.
It can be thought of as a spherical cap with the top truncated, and so it corresponds to a spherical frustum. The surface of the spherical segment (excluding the bases) is called a zone.
