The 10 pages that link to Oblate spheroid, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar radiusCompared with: Rapid rotation can give a star distinct equatorial and polar radii.

• VegaBroader topic: Centrifugal force makes rapidly rotating Vega wider around its equator.

• AltairRelated: This geometry describes Altair's rotationally produced equatorial bulge.

• Planetary radiusBroader topic: Rotation makes many planets' equatorial radius larger than their polar radius.

• Alexis ClairautBroader topic: This shape captures the polar flattening Clairaut sought to explain.

• Figure of the EarthBroader topic: It captures Earth’s broad flattening caused by rotation.

• Earth ellipsoidNarrower topic: Earth ellipsoids model Earth as an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles.

• Spherical EarthCompared with: It refines the spherical approximation to account for Earth’s rotation.

• AchernarRelated: This geometry describes Achernar’s strongly flattened shape.

• Equatorial bulgeBroader topic: This geometric shape approximates the form produced by an equatorial bulge.
