In mathematics, a Clélies is a curve parameterized by

$x=a\; *\; sin(\{mtheta\})\; cos(\{theta\})$

$y=a*\; sin(\{mtheta\})\; sin(\{theta\})$

$z=a*\; cos(\{mtheta\})$

A curve of this type is confined to the surface of a sphere of radius $a$, which is obvious from the parametric equations for the surface of a sphere.
