Definition of ellipsoid in English English dictionary

Shaped like a symmetrical oval that is evenly tapered on both ends

Such a surface used as a model of the shape of the earth

Here the geoid is thirty meters below the ellipsoid.

of or pertaining to an ellipse; ellipsoidal

a surface, all of whose cross sections are elliptic or circular (includes the sphere)

Shaped like an ellipse; elliptical

Pertaining to, or shaped like, an ellipsoid; as, ellipsoid or ellipsoidal form

a surface whose plane sections are all ellipses or circles; "the Earth is an ellipsoid"

A three-dimensional mathematical model which approximates the shape of the geoid Many different ellipsoids have been developed for continents or individual countries to minimize local deviations from the geoid The standard global ellipsoid is the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84) Reference: Peter Dana, The Geographer's Craft

A model that approximates the Earth Also called a spheroid

– A mathematical model of the earth formed by rotating an ellipse around its minor axis For ellipsoids which model the earth, the minor axis is the polar axis, and the major axis is the equatorial axis An ellipsoid is completely defined by specifying the lengths of both axes, or by specifying the length of the major axis and the flattening

three dimensionally elliptic

2 (a)

A mathematical formulation of the shape of the Earth which is defined by a semimajor axis and its eccentricity There are 11 official ellipsoids in use throughout the world The Clark Ellipsoid of 1866 is used in North America

a surface whose plane sections are all ellipses or circles; "the Earth is an ellipsoid" in the form of an ellipse

Athree-dimensional ellipse which is used to represent the shape of the surface of the earth A more complete explanation is available in the Standards Section

See: spheroid

A solid, all plane sections of which are ellipses or circles

Centered at c, this is the set

{i} figure in the shape of an ellipse, oval-shaped figure

Having every plane section an ellipse or a circle (17)

A surface whose plane sections (cross sections) are all ellipses or circles, or the solid enclosed by such a surface Also called ellipsoid of revolution, spheroid

In geodesy, a mathematical figure formed by revolving an ellipse about about its minor axis Two quantities define an ellipsoid, the length of the semimajor axis, a, and the flattening, f=(a-b)/a, where b is the length of the semiminor axis

In geodesy, a mathematical figure formed by revolving an ellipse about its minor axis It is often used interchangeably with spheroid Two quantities define an ellipsoid, the length of the semimajor axis, a, and the flattening, f = (a - b)/a, where b is the length of the semiminor axis Prolate and triaxial ellipsoids are always described as such

The type of reflector used in many profile spots Often used in America now to refer to all profile spotlights The reflector is formed in a regular oval shape

A three-dimensional object defined by an origin (that is, the center of the ellipsoid) and three mutually perpendicular vectors that define the orientation and the major and minor radii of the ellipsoid Defined by the TQ3EllipsoidData data type

a squashed or stretched sphere in which each of the three axes can be of different lengths (Contrast to a spheroid, in which two of the three axes have the same length ) An ellipsoid has the equation x²/a² + y²/b² + z²/c² = 1

A solid of which all plane sections through one axis are ellipses and all other plane sections are ellipses or circles

in the form of an ellipse

In geodesy, unless otherwise specified, a mathematical figure formed by revolving an ellipse about its minor axis It is often used interchangeably with spheroid Two quantities define and ellipsoid; these are usually given as the length of the semimajor axis, a, and the flattening, f = (a-b)/a, where b is the length of the semiminor axis Prolate and triaxial ellipsoids are invariably described as such

See Conoid, n

A mathematical model of the earth formed by rotating and ellipse around its minor axis For ellipsoids which model the earth, the minor axis is the polar axis, and the major axis is the equatorial axis An ellipsoid is completely defined by specifying the lengths of both axes, or by specifying the length of the major axis and the flattening

ellipsoidal

Ellipsoidal have become a standard instrument in theaters today They are named for their reflectors which are shaped in an ellipse There are three generations of Ellipsoidal (also known as Lekos): the older generation with the lamp sticking out at an angle of approximately 75 degrees, the newer Ellipsoidal (called an Axial Ellipsoidal) in which the lens chimney either sticks straight out from the back or has been eliminated and replaced with a square housing in the rear of the instrument, the newest type is based on the ETC company's "Source Four" which incorporates many of the earlier functionality of the ellipsoidal with additional features and technology
