Answer

sphere with radius $2$ and center at origin.

Work Step by Step

In the cylindrical coordinate system, we have $x=r \cos \theta \\ y=r \sin \theta \\z=z$ Conversion of rectangular to cylindrical coordinate system, we have $r^2=x^2+y^2 \\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{y}{x} \\z=z$ As per problem, then we get $x^2+y^2+z^2=4$ when $r^2=x^2+y^2$ So, $x^2+y^2+z^2=4$ Re-arrange as: $x^2+y^2+z^2=2^2$ Hence, we have an equation of a sphere with radius $2$ and center at origin.
