SUMMARY
A Klein bottle is a non-orientable surface that serves as a three-dimensional analogue of a Möbius strip, characterized by having only one continuous surface. Mathematically, it is expressed through its unique topology and is classified as a closed surface with an Euler characteristic of 0. Its applications extend into various fields, including topology and theoretical physics, where it aids in understanding complex surfaces and spatial dimensions.
