If frontal area didn't matter to drag, wouldn't all spheres would have the same drag coefficient?
From that page:
Cd = D/(rAV^2/2) where A is frontal area.
What am I missing?
You're citing a page that uses the word "density" differently than you do.
"D" is density-of-the-air. The density you're talking about appears to be the density-of-the-sphere.
They explicitly said so.
Twice.
