What is Geoid and Ellipsoid Explained about?

The document discusses three types of earth surfaces: 1) The topographic surface is the actual irregular land and water surface where measurements are made. It is unsuitable for calculations due to inconsistencies. 2) The geoid surface approximates mean sea level and shares the same gravitational potential. It forms a suitable height reference. 3) The ellipsoid surface is a mathematically defined surface used as a reference for geodetic coordinates and GPS heights. It closely approximates the geoid shape
