I'm trying to understand the difference between a solid sphere rotating with the axis through its center versus a solid sphere rotating and the axis tangent to the surface.

I'd like help in having some examples so I can understand what moment of inertia to use when. For instance, if a solid sphere is rotating down a frictionless incline, would I use the first option because the sphere is rotating around it's own axis?
