No. Pi is a transcendental number, and transcendental numbers are a subset of irrational numbers, which by definition cannot be represented as a ratio of two integers. Pi = C/D, which in the case of this sphere are two finite integers. As another poster said, you're limited by the precision of the total number of atoms in your sphere. If you used a larger or smaller sphere, you'll get a different value of C/D.
