Two circles are tangent to each other if each is
tangent to the same line at the same point.
This is easier to use than saying that 2 circles
are tangent if they touch at 1 point.

a line which touches or intersects a curve at one point in the 1)immediate vicinity of the point (in the case of a circle, it touches the curve only once); (2) a trigonometric ratio defined, in terms of a right triangle, as the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side (wrt a specified angle)
2)A line that crosses the circle only once.This means that only at one point in the line, does the line touch the circle

the two circles are so close that they only touch at 1 point
