How many vertices does a circle have?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the geometric property of a circle, specifically how many distinct points (vertices) it has. In this case, we know that a circle does not have vertices in the traditional sense, as it is a continuous curve without corners.

More Information

A vertex is defined as a point where two or more lines or edges meet. Since a circle is a continuous curve and does not have any edges or corners, it does not have any vertices.

Tips

Sometimes people may confuse the term 'vertex' with the 'center' of the circle, but they are different concepts.
