I have taken higher level maths here college and all of them use a different
coordinate system than povray. From what I understand, povray uses a x-z 2d
plane with a y 3d dimension plane. I am used to a x-y 2d and z 3d.

This really shouldn't matter, should it? I can just place my camera looking
at a certain way and i can describe all of my objects in any coordinates I
would like.
If this is the case, then my code below would simply produce a sphere but
for some odd reason, it doesnt.. it just produces a black screen. Anyone
help? Or is the only option to use the correct coord system?
Let me know

#include "colors.inc"
background{ color LightBlue }
camera{
        location <10,0,10>
        look_at <0,5,0>
        }
light_source{
        <-5,-5,13>
        color White
        }
plane{
        z,0
        color Yellow
      }
sphere{
        <0,5,2.5>,2.5
        color Orange
      }
