The recent scientific renaissance has also used them in different fields. It is also mentioned in the Prophet Mohamed`s Holy Quran. This article introduces a new Theorem (S. El-Mongy`s Theorem) as an empirical formula to correlate the constant (e) with circle and sphere. It states that “the arc length is correlated as a direct function in <em>{(e π r s<sup>A</sup>)},</em> whatever the central angle (ϴ) and radius (r). The factor <em>s<sup>A</sup> </em>is<em> (ϴ/10ϕ).</em> The formula can also be written as; <em>A<sub>L</sub> = {(0.0174533185 r ϴ)}.</em> Where the value 0.0174533185 is a constant called Sayed`s number (I<sub>s</sub>) and equals (<em>eπ/10ϕ</em>). This factor is very close to value (π/180 = 0.0174532925) with ~1.5x10<sup>-4</sup> % difference. The formula was applied for calculation the arc length (A<sub>L</sub>) of circles of different radii and angles. The results of this formula were validated and verified for very wide range; from 0.5 cm to 4.4x10<sup>23</sup> km (46.5x10<sup>9 </sup>light-years; ly) and compared with the old published arc length formula results. The difference is from 0.000% to 0.002% only. The formula was also used as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions">trigonometric functions</a> of circular orbits for calculation the distances between the Earth and Sun, Moon, planets, stars, and EH-M87 Black hole with relatively small error; the difference is from 0.26% to maximum ~ 2.27%. The error was 0.29% for ~54 x 10<sup>6</sup> ly distance to the M87 black hole. The S. El-Mongy formula may open the door for further scientific and engineering applications.</p>}, journal={JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS}, author={El-Mongy, Sayed}, year={2020}, month={Nov.}, pages={158–163} }
