A penalty kick is awarded when a player commits a foul in the penalty box which is clearly visible on the field. The penalty is given to the team against who the foul was commited and a player from that team then takes a kick from the penalty spot.
It is the spot where the ball is placed during the taking of a penalty kick or kicks from the mark.
It is called the penalty arc. It is to ensure that defenders are 10 yards from the penalty spot when a penalty kick is taken.
It is used during the taking of a penalty kick to ensure that all players except the kick taker and the goalkeeper are both outside of the penalty area and are at least 10 yards from the spot where the kick will be taken.
Free kick distance is entirely dependent on where the foul occurs on the pitch. However, the penalty kick is taken from the penalty mark, which is a spot 12 yards (11 m) from the goal.
The main differences are that a penalty is only taken from the penalty spot inside the box, and a free kick is taken from where the offence took place, and can happen anywhere on the pitch unless it was a penalty. The opposition is allowed to put up a wall of players to defend the free kick, in a penalty it is only the penalty taker against the goalkeeper.
If the offense was one of the Indirect Free Kick fouls, then it would be an Indirect Free Kick at the spot. (Or brought out to the top of the Goal Area if inside that.) If the offense was one of the Direct Free Kick fouls, then an Penalty Kick would be awarded.
If the defending team commits a foul inside their box then it is deemed a penalty.
There is no "penalty kick circle." There is a penalty arc, which is part of a circle.
no a different player can't kick penalty after a penalty is recall.
