Circular symmetry, often referred to as radial symmetry, is a type of symmetry where an object or shape appears the same when rotated around a central point. In other words, if you were to rotate the object through any angle about that central point, it would look unchanged. In the context of two-dimensional shapes, examples of circular symmetry include circles, wheels, and starfish. In three dimensions, objects like spheres and some types of flower arrangements exhibit circular symmetry.
