What is Understanding Earth about?
This document describes the actual shape of the Earth and the mathematical models used to represent it. It explains that the Earth has an almost spherical shape called an ellipsoid, and that throughout history, different models have been proposed to describe its shape, such as a sphere or a flat disk. It also summarizes the ideas of geodesists like Gauss about using a surface of equal potential called the geoid to more accurately represent the irregular shape of the Earth.
