No.
"A spherical triangle is a figure formed on the surface of a sphere by
three great circular arcs intersecting pairwise in three vertices"
From: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalTriangle.html

Your example, (0,0; 87,0; 0,180), puts all three points on the same
great circle and therefore is not a spherical triangle.
