I also have that this region is equal to 1.
I can't seem to get anywhere..
Spherical coordinates are a three-dimensional coordinate system used to locate points in space. They use two angles, θ and φ, and a distance, r, to specify the position of a point relative to a fixed origin.
Spherical coordinates are different from Cartesian coordinates in that they use angles and a distance to locate a point, while Cartesian coordinates use three perpendicular axes (x, y, z) to locate a point.
The range of values for spherical coordinates is dependent on the specific coordinate system being used. However, generally θ ranges from 0 to 2π, φ ranges from 0 to π, and r can be any positive real number.
Spherical coordinates and cylindrical coordinates are related in that both use an angle and a distance to locate a point. However, spherical coordinates also include an additional angle (θ) to specify the direction of the point from the origin.
Spherical coordinates are commonly used in physics and engineering to describe the position and motion of objects in three-dimensional space. They are particularly useful in spherical geometry, electromagnetism, and celestial mechanics.
