Distance	Point	Line	Plane	Sphere	Cylinder
Sphere	The distance is the distance of the sphere center from the point.	The distance is the distance of the sphere center from the plane. The distance vector is perpendicular to the plane.	The distance is the distance of the sphere center from the plane. The distance vector is perpendicular to the plane	The distance is the distance between the two sphere centers.	The distance is the distance of the cylinder axis from the sphere center. The distance vector is perpendicular to the cylinder axis.
Cylinder	The distance is the distance of the cylinder axis from the point. The distance vector is perpendicular to the cylinder axis.	The distance is the distance of the cylinder axis from the line. The distance vector is perpendicular to both the line and the cylinder axis.	The distance is the distance of the cylinder axis from the plane. The distance vector is perpendicular to both the plane and the cylinder axis.	The distance is the distance of the cylinder axis from the sphere center. The distance vector is perpendicular to the cylinder axis.	The distance is the distance between the two cylinder axes. The distance vector is perpendicular to both cylinder axes.
