It isn’t quite only related to circles but instead also spheres and higher-dimensional versions of spheres as well as cylinders (and higher-dimensional versions of cylinders). The real trick is that when pi shows up, you can bet that there’s at least one way to reformat your question to ask about circles. 3Blue1Brown has done a few examples of this because of how satisfying to watch they are including [this recent one which actively acknowledges the oddness of pi showing up](https://youtu.be/cy8r7WSuT1I).
