Let S be the sphere $(x,y,z) in mathbb R^3 mid x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$.




First I want to check if the set $A = (cosphi sintheta, sinphi sintheta, costheta ) midphi in (0,pi), theta in (0,pi)$ is open in $mathbb R^3$.




I am pretty sure that it isn't open since it is half of the sphere S, and for the example for the point $(0,1,0) in A$ we can't find a ball in $A$ that surrounds it.




The second task is to find whether $A$ is relatively open in $S$.




Here I am not so sure but I think I can take the open set: $V = $ $B(0,2)$ with $y>0$ and then $S bigcap V = A$ which proves that it is relatively open in $S$.



However the set $B = (cosphi sintheta, sinphi sintheta, costheta ) midphi in [0,pi], theta in [0,pi]$ is not relatively open in $S$, right?



Am I correct here?



Help would be appreciated.

Suppose $U$ is an open set in $mathbbR^3$ so that $Ucap S=B$. Then since $U$ is open, there is a ball $D$ around, say, the point $(0,0,1)$ with radius $epsilon$ that is contained inside $U$. But since $Ucap S=B$ and $Dsubset U$, it follows that $Dcap Ssubset B$. In other words, the small ball $D$ centered at the north pole intersects the sphere in some open set $Dcap S$ which will be contained in the closed half-sphere $B$. But this is impossible, you can find points in the intersection $Dcap S$ which have $theta's$ that fall outside of $0leqthetaleq pi$.
