Abstract
We provide a synthetic study of the top-views of spherical trochoids. These projections turn out to be higher trochoids, i.e., curves generated by the superposition of more than two rotations. Special shapes of these trochoids show up for special choices of the spherical radii of the rolling circles. A relation to closed algebraic curves of constant width is shown. These curves allow for a kinematic generation.
