We study the set of two-qubit pure states with real amplitudes and their geometrical representation in the three-dimensional sphere. In this representation, we show that the maximally entangled states—those locally equivalent to the Bell states—form two disjoint circles perpendicular to each other. We also show that taking the natural Riemannian metric on the sphere, the set of states connected by local gates are equidistant to this pair of circles. Moreover, the unentangled or so-called product states are π/4 units away to the maximally entangled states. This is, the unentangled states are the farthest away to the maximally entangled states. In this way, if we define two states to be equivalent if they are connected by local gates, we have that there are as many equivalent classes as points in the interval [0,π/4] with the point 0 corresponding to the maximally entangled states. The point π/4 corresponds to the unentangled states which geometrically are described by a torus. Finally, for every 0
