Is there a name for a non-great-circle?

Question

The intersection of a sphere and a plane which passes through the center of that sphere is called a great circle. Is there a name for the intersection of a sphere and a plane which does not pass through the center of the sphere? Of course, like a great circle, it is a circle, but I'm wondering if there is any special terminology that would indicate its relation to the sphere.

Answer 1

Yes: sensibly enough, it's called a small circle.
