A three-dimensional scatter plot that displays the relationship between three numeric variables by plotting points in 3D space. This visualization extends the classic 2D scatter plot to reveal patterns, clusters, and correlations across three dimensions simultaneously, making it invaluable for multivariate data exploration.
