An '''open set''' in [[Euclidean space]] is a set that contains a ball around each of its points. In Euclidean space, a "ball" of radius ''r'' centered at a point ''p'' is the set of all points which are distance at most ''r'' from ''p''. Intuitively, if a point is contained in an open set, then all points sufficiently close to it are also contained.
