Consider a sphere of radius R. In the spherical polar coordinate if we choose a particular value for any coordinate, it gives a surface. Two such surfaces can form an envelop which enclose a volume. Find the surface area/volume enclosed by envelopes with θ = 0◦ and 30◦ , θ = 30◦ to 60◦ . Repeat the same exercise for envelopes with same azimuthal angle separation ie., φ = 0◦ to 30◦ and φ = 30◦ to 60◦ . Compare the area/volume you get in different cases. Sketch the envelopes.
