The video tutorial explains the concepts of surface area and volume of spheres. It begins by defining a sphere as a set of points equidistant from a center point, and describes the properties of radius and diameter. The tutorial also covers cross sections and great circles, providing formulas for calculating the surface area and volume of a sphere. An example using a standard bowling ball is provided to demonstrate these calculations, emphasizing the use of a calculator for precise results.
