Intersection between a line and a sphere?
I'm trying to find the point of intersection between a sphere and a line but honestly, I don't have any idea of how to do so.
Could anyone help me on this one ?

A line that is tangent to the sphere intersects it at one point, the point of tangency. A line that passes through the center of the sphere intersects it at two points, the entry point and the exit point also known as antipodal points.
