1. As a result of the centrifugal force of rotation it bulges at the equator and its polar radius (6378 km) is 21 km shorter than its equatorial radius (6397 km); thus the Earth is more accurately described as an oblate spheroid.
2. Until recently it was assumed to be a flattened axisymmetric spheroid (that is, one which is round in the plane of the Galaxy).
3. From the deepest point of a new trench to the highest point of a newly created mountain range can be ten miles, maybe more - the greatest difference in the shape of the planetary spheroid anywhere.
4. As is evident in Figure 2.1 this surface shows many irregularities compared with a simple oblate spheroid; there is, for instance, a bulge of 76 m near New Guinea and a depression of some 104m to the south of India.
5. It is worth noting that if the Sun were an oblate spheroid (squashed at its poles), this would also have the effect of causing the orbit of Mercury to precess.
6. But of course the water is not heaped up into a cube and so it is perhaps more appropriate, though less convenient, to think of this mass of salt water in its actual context - as a veneer-thin skin which lurks in those troughs and valleys which fall below the mean circumference of the earth's planetary spheroid.
7. So the climate conforms almost totally - to the east of the Date Line - to what is called the planetary weather system, the theoretical system of winds and pressures that would exist if the earth was a near-perfect spheroid unencumbered with continents, mountain chains and other complicating nuisances.
8. This change shows up directly in the uneven spacing of Figure 2, and corresponds to a change in shape of the nucleus from a sphere to a prolate spheroid, or "rugby ball" shape.
9. The outer surface of the ergosphere is in fact a spheroid of revolution with a radial coordinate r+ which is dependent on the polar angle with respect to the axis of rotation: At a radius r+ () it is just possible to remain at rest.
10. The balls are normally spheroid and enclosed in a cage consisting of either a cross-shaped piece of sheet metal, often silver, or two metal bands.
