Toroid (geometry) facts for kids
A Toroid is a geometric shape that resembles a torus. A toroid is constructed by rotating a geometrical shape around an axis which is outside the shape. If this is done to a circle, a torus results.

In three dimensions, one can bend a rectangle into a torus, but doing this typically stretches the surface, as seen by the distortion of the checkered pattern.

This construction shows the torus divided into seven regions, every one of which touches every other, meaning each must be assigned a unique color.
