Can it reach 90 degrees, or is that approached as a limit?

Yes, it can reach 90 degress at all three angles on a sphere.

Consider drawing two line segments southward from the North Pole, with a 90 degree angle between them, until they reached the Equator. The angles of the intersections of those lines at the Equator would also be 90 degrees, giving you three at 90.

You are right. So it doesn't have to be a small sphere. Any size sphere will do.

Thanks for the correction. I stand enlightened!
