1. Oblate Spheroid

   Linked via "minor moons"

   | Prolate Spheroid | $a = b < c$ | Elongated along the axis of rotation (e.g., a rugby ball). | Major axis |
   | Sphere | $a = b = c$ | Perfect radial symmetry. | Any axis |
   | Triaxial Ellipsoid | $a \neq b \neq c$ | Three unequal semi-axes (e.g., some minor moons). | N/A |
   While the oblate spheroid is an excellent first approximation for the Earth, high-precision gravity field analysis necessitates considering the slight devia…
