A dome () is an architectural element similar to the hollow upper half of a sphere. There is significant overlap with the term cupola, which may also refer to a dome or a structure on top of a dome. The precise definition of a dome has been a matter of controversy and there are a wide variety of forms and specialized terms to describe them.
A dome is a curved, bowl-shaped architectural structure that resembles the upper half of a hollow sphere and is used to cover or top buildings. Because domes can take many different forms and serve various purposes, there has been ongoing debate about how exactly to define them, and architects use specialized terms to describe their different types.
