  2. Ellipsoidal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoidal_coordinates

    Ellipsoidal coordinates are a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system (,,) that generalizes the two-dimensional elliptic coordinate system. Unlike most three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate systems that feature quadratic coordinate surfaces , the ellipsoidal coordinate system is based on confocal quadrics .

  3. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

    Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).

  4. Earth ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_ellipsoid

    Geodetic coordinates P(ɸ,λ,h) Geodetic coordinates are a type of curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system used in geodesy based on a reference ellipsoid. They include geodetic latitude (north/south) ϕ, longitude (east/west) λ, and ellipsoidal height h (also known as geodetic height [6]).

  5. Elliptic coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_coordinate_system

    In geometry, the elliptic coordinate system is a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in which the coordinate lines are confocal ellipses and hyperbolae. The two foci F 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}} and F 2 {\displaystyle F_{2}} are generally taken to be fixed at − a {\displaystyle -a} and + a {\displaystyle +a} , respectively, on the x ...

  7. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    Ellipsoidal dome; Ellipsoidal coordinates; Elliptical distribution, in statistics; Flattening, also called ellipticity and oblateness, is a measure of the compression of a circle or sphere along a diameter to form an ellipse or an ellipsoid of revolution (spheroid), respectively. Focaloid, a shell bounded by two concentric, confocal ellipsoids

  8. Figure of the Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_the_Earth

    In geodetic surveying, the computation of the geodetic coordinates of points is commonly performed on a reference ellipsoid closely approximating the size and shape of the Earth in the area of the survey. The actual measurements made on the surface of the Earth with certain instruments are however referred to the geoid.

  9. Bessel ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_ellipsoid

    The Bessel ellipsoid (or Bessel 1841) is an important reference ellipsoid of geodesy.It is currently used by several countries for their national geodetic surveys, but will be replaced in the next decades by modern ellipsoids of satellite geodesy.
