A rock consisting chiefly of calcium carbonate or carbonate of lime. It sometimes contains also magnesium carbonate, and is then called magnesian or dolomitic limestone. Crystalline limestone is called marble.
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
Ptolemy called the transparent spheres in his geocentric theory "celestial spheres." He believed that these spheres carried the celestial bodies, such as the planets and stars, in circular motion around the Earth.
The soft greyish limestone that crumbles easily is called chalk.
Limestone is called limestone because it mainly consists of the mineral calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate. When limestone is heated, it produces quicklime or calcium oxide, which is used in various industrial processes. This connection to lime production is likely why it is called limestone.
Hollow spheres in limestone rock are called vugs. Vugs are formed when a cavity in the rock is later filled with minerals or crystals. They can vary in size and shape and are often sought after by collectors for their unique beauty.

Limestone caves are sometimes called solution caves because they are formed through a process called solution weathering. This occurs when water containing carbon dioxide dissolves the limestone rock, creating cave systems over time. The dissolved limestone is carried away in the form of a solution, hence the term "solution cave."

A Pyramid is a shape called a pyramid, there are no spheres in a triangulare shape.
Limestone is called limestone because it has lime in it from the sea water it if formed in.
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
They are not perfect spheres. If they were, they would have been called spherical, not elliptical!
True
Planets are approximately in shape, usually elongated spheres called spheroids (squashed spheres)
A vertical gap in limestone is called a joint, fissure, or crevice. These openings can form due to natural processes such as weathering, erosion, or tectonic movement.
