### Geometry Problem: Distance from a Plane

**Problem Statement:**

1. Find an equation for the set of points whose distance from the plane \( z = 8 \) is twice the distance to the point \( (0,1,2) \). Identify this surface. You do not have to sketch this surface.

---

**Explanation:**

This problem involves finding the locus of points that are at a specific relative distance to a plane and a point in three-dimensional space. The steps generally involve the use of the distance formula in three-dimensional geometry. The final equation will represent a geometric surface.

**No diagrams or graphs are provided in the problem statement.**
