Notice these interesting things:
It can be made by revolving a small circle along a line made by another circle.
It has no edges or vertices
It is
not
a polyhedron
And for reference:
Surface Area = 4 ×

× R × r
Volume = 2 ×
π

× R × r

Note: Area and volume formulas only work when the torus has a hole!
And did you know that
Torus
was the Latin word for a cushion?
(This is not a
real
roman cushion, just an illustration I made)
