Hi guys,
I would like to understand why a circle (and in general a n-sphere) as a subset of R^2 (in general R^(n+1)) with the standard topolgy is considered a closed and a bounded set.
I think that this can be a closed set because its complement (the interior of the circle and the rest of the plane) is open. And could be bounded because it has a finite extension (but ths is very intuitive). I cannot figure out what is the interior, the closure or the boundary of this set.
Thank you for your help.
