WLOG we assume that the two planes which intersect the sphere of radius $r$ are perpedicular to $x$-axis with equations $x=a$ and $x=b$ respectively.

(In the scheme the points $A$ and $B$ are points of intersection of a meridian cycle with the planes $x=a$ and $x=b$ respectively and the points $A'(a,0,0)$ and $B'(b,0,0)$ are the projections of the points $A$ and $B$ respectively, on $x$-axis.)
The area in question is the area of the surface by revolution of the meridian's arc $\overset{\frown}{AB}$ which lies between the planes, rotating it about the $x$-axis. The arc $\overset{\frown}{AB}$ is the graph of the function $y(x)=\sqrt{r^2-x^2}\,,\; x\in[a,b]$, and the area in question is
\begin{align*}
A&=2\pi\int_{a}^{b}y(x)\,\sqrt{1+(y'(x))^2}\;dx \\
&=2\pi\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{r^2-x^2}\sqrt{1+\frac{x^2}{r^2-x^2}}\;dx \\
&=2\pi\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{r^2-x^2}\sqrt{\frac{r^2}{r^2-x^2}}\;dx \\
&=2\pi\,r\int_{a}^{b}dx \\
&=2\pi\,r\,(b-a)\\
&=2\pi\,r\,d\,.
\end{align*}
