Answer

Sphere centered at the origin with radius $3$.

Work Step by Step

Conversion of rectangular to spherical coordinates is as follows: $x=\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta; y=\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta;z=\rho \cos \phi$ and $\rho=\sqrt {x^2+y^2+z^2}$; $\cos \phi =\dfrac{z}{\rho}$; $\cos \theta=\dfrac{x}{\rho \sin \phi}$ Here, $\rho=3$ This implies that $\rho^2=9$ or, $x^2+y^2+z^2=3^2$ Thus, we have the surface of a sphere centered at the origin with radius $3$.
