Imagine a sphere.

Is there any angle of approach from which a plane slicing the sphere in two can result in a flat surface on the two parts not being a circle?

If it's not a circle, it wasn't a sphere.

But why are you asking?

Im curious what peoples response modes are and potential for explanation

P.S. You can still get a circle from a non-spherical object, but if it ain't a circle it ain't a sphere.

Yes. I can cut a cylinder or natural cone perpendicularly to get a circle, while other angles would yield an ellipse
