In any type of circle, the radius is the given distance from any point on the circle to the center. No madder what point on the circle you choose, it will always be the same distance away from the center of the circle.

The diameter is very similar. The diameter of a circle is the full length across a circle but it must cross through the center. Think of the diameter as exactly 2x the radius of a circle because it’s double.
