its an infinitely-sided polygon
There are an infinitely large set of all the points in a circle, going clockwise. All elements are numbered as real numbers, (eg. point 0.[0-repitand]1, point 0.[0-repitand]1[0-repitand]1 all the way up to ∞.) (Naturally, you'd get to ∞ before covering any length, but then you encounter infinite ∞, after which we are back where we started. Also, that means that if you add zero (the size of a point) to itself infinitely many times, you'll get a larger-than-zero length. We then look at a random snapshot of four adjacent elements of this set. THESE POINTS ARE ADJACENT. EVEN THOUGH SPACE IS NOT DISCRETE IN THIS CONTEXT, POINTS CAN BE ADJACENT. These points form line segments, the number of which depends on the size of the circle, allowing the circle to fit the at least 3 sides that are segments part of the definition of polygons.
Note: The angles of a circle, of which there are infinite, are all 179.9 reccuring degrees.
You also probably thought that 179.9 reccuring was the same as 180. It's not. It's the same as 180-0. In measurements, the length of a line segment minus 0 is that line segment with a point chopped off at its end. Just apply that to degrees. This allows the circle to fit the no two sides are collinear part of the definition of polygons.

A circle is a polygon with infinite sides and infinite angles. Do this for the proof: draw a polygon with as many angles and sides as you can and keep on increasing the sides and angles; as you do this note that the sides get infinitesimally shorter and shorter and the angles get larger and larger towards 180 degrees. At the limit the angles of your infinite sides become 180 degrees. This tells us that the curve of the circle is a straight line if we can cut it into infinitesimally small parts and examine. Also compare this: A STRAIGHT LINE IS PART OF A CIRCLE WITH INFINITE DIAMETER/RADIUS!.

Go listen to Travis - Side
"The circle only has one side"
To every idiot who said two: a square has 4 sides not 8. It doesn't matter if it is solid or not. It's not any different for a circle. You all got a thumbs down from me!

there is 360 sides to a circle. It is a pointed dot at an exact distance between each dots. Each dots equivalent to a degree of the circle. there are 360 degrees in a circle. the number of side of a circle have been decided commonly between mathematics and science teachers to facilitate the comprehension of the mathematics and sciences.

There are two answers to this, none or infinite, you can't measure how many sides a circle has because it is curved and not straight.

Depending on what you mean, 0 = Zero sides as compared to a square or triangle etc.....otherwise 2 = inner circle and outter circle.
