WHAT DOES SPHEROIDAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Spheroid

A spheroid, or ellipsoid of revolution is a quadric surface obtained by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes; in other words, an ellipsoid with two equal semi-diameters. If the ellipse is rotated about its major axis, the result is a prolate spheroid, like an American football or rugby ball. If the ellipse is rotated about its minor axis, the result is an oblate spheroid, like a lentil. If the generating ellipse is a circle, the result is a sphere. Because of the combined effects of gravitation and rotation, the Earth's shape is roughly that of a sphere slightly flattened in the direction of its axis. For that reason, in cartography the Earth is often approximated by an oblate spheroid instead of a sphere. The current World Geodetic System model uses a spheroid whose radius is 6,378.137 km at the equator and 6,356.752 km at the poles. The word spheroid originally meant an approximately spherical body and that is how it is used in some older papers on geodesy. In order to avoid confusion, spheroid should be defined as an ellipsoid of revolution, if that is the intended meaning.

Definition of spheroidal in the English dictionary

The definition of spheroidal in the dictionary is shaped like an ellipsoid of revolution; approximately spherical. Other definition of spheroidal is of or relating to an ellipsoid of revolution.
