Drawing a revolving spherical cap in Tex

I must apologize for asking a question which is likely all too obvious and may (must) have a solution in plain sight (I have not come across it yet). I am trying to draw a sphere with two panels: (i) the boundary of a spherical cap along a line of latitude and (ii) that boundary (and cap) are rotated (in unison) by an arbitrary (non-trivial) angle around the "y-axis" (this axis passes through the center of the sphere and lies in the "equatorial plane"). If there are any good suggestions as to how to do this, these will be greatly welcomed.
