    Since they’re rendered to look like spheres are the numbers proportional to the area of the circle, or the volume of the sphere?

      I’ve received the advice that you should always make your charts so that you numbers are proportional to a length, since people aren’t good at comparing areas (or volumes).

      So the numbers here probably ought to be proportional to diameters
