Provided is a suitable toner external additive which has an excellent spacer effect, without causing image defects in repeated image formation and which is suitable in preparing a toner with stable printing properties and to provide a fine spherical silica powder suitable for adding to the toner additive. A fine spherical silica power having an average particle size measured by a laser diffraction/scattering distribution measuring apparatus of 0.090 μm or more and 0.140 μm or less, a particle content ratio of 5.0% by mass or more and 25.0% by mass or less when the particle diameter is 0.150 μm or more, and a particle content ratio of 1.0% by mass or less when the particle diameter is 0.300 μm or more. |
