Spherical Law of Sines/Also known as

Spherical Law of Sines: Also known as

Some sources refer to the spherical law of sines as just:

the sine-formula
the sine law
the sine rule
the rule of sines
the law of sines

but all of these are also used to refer to the plane version, so on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ this is not recommended.

Some sources carefully refer to it as the law of sines for spherical triangles.
