- An
ellipsoid is a
surface that can be
obtained from a
sphere by
deforming it by
means of
directional scalings, or more generally, of an
affine transformation...
- the
angle formed between the
vector perpendicular (or normal) to the
ellipsoidal surface from the point, and the
plane of the equator. Two
levels of abstraction...
- An
Earth ellipsoid or
Earth spheroid is a
mathematical figure approximating the Earth's form, used as a
reference frame for com****tions in geodesy, astronomy...
- the
motion of its
inertia ellipsoid,
which is
rigidly fixed to the
rigid body like a
coordinate frame. Its
inertia ellipsoid rolls,
without slipping, on...
- A
Jacobi ellipsoid is a
triaxial (i.e. scalene)
ellipsoid under hydrostatic equilibrium which arises when a self-gravitating,
fluid body of
uniform density...
- In geodesy, the
Hayford ellipsoid is a
reference ellipsoid named after the
American geodesist John
Fillmore Hayford (1868–1925),
which was
introduced in...
- The
study of
geodesics on an
ellipsoid arose in
connection with
geodesy specifically with the
solution of
triangulation networks. The

There are two
types of
ellipsoidal domes:
prolate ellipsoidal domes and
oblate ellipsoidal domes. A
prolate ellipsoidal dome is
derived by rotating...

Ellipsoidal coordinates are a three-dimensional
orthogonal coordinate system (λ,μ,ν){\displaystyle (\lambda ,\mu ,\nu )} that
generalizes the two-dimensional...
