I am currently studying Geometry, and am having trouble parametrizing a Torus. The Torus is defined as being the surface of revolution by rotating the circle: $$y^2+(z-a)^2=r^2, \>\> x=0$$About the $y$-axis. We assume that $a>r>0$. Now, I believe the parametrization for the circle is given by: $$\phi(r,\theta)=(0, r\cos(\theta), r\sin(\theta)-a)$$ How would the Torus be parametrized as I rotate it about the $y$-axis?
