The locus of the tangent lines from a given point to a sphere is a cone called the enveloping cone from the point to the sphere. Imagine it like a conical cap on a sphere.

In geometry, an envelope of a family of curves in the plane is a curve that is tangent to each member of the family at some point. Classically, a point on the envelope can be thought of as the intersection of two "adjacent" curves, meaning the limit of intersections of nearby curves.

In two dimensional geometry, two lines can be drawn from a point to a conic ie circle,parabola,ellipse or hyperbola. In space an infinite number of tangents can be drawn from a point to a conicaid, in particular a sphere. All these tangent lines generates a cone with the point as vertex. This cone is...
