No, that will turn out cone-shaped I believe

I THINK this might be a dome, not 100% sure though. Certainly no cone as that would have shown in an equal graditude in the size of the circles. Here you see the bigger circles stay big quite long and than go small rather quickly.

If these were multiple choice between cone or dome, I'ld check dome :)

I think that's true. I'm no expert on conic sections but it seems to make more intuitive sense that the radius of a cone would change uniformly when height changes.

Doesn't look like a dome. More like a circle.
