But it is said, we have a proof that he did not create it in its present solid form, but in a state of fluidity; because its present shape of an oblate spheroid is precisely that which a fluid mass revolving on its axis would assume.
The creator, therefore, of a revolving solid, would make it an oblate spheroid, that figure alone admitting a perfect equilibrium.
And very possibly time only is required for the sun to become an oblate spheroid, the same as his dependent planets.
It must have become anoblate spheroid flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator, rotating faster and faster as it contracted.
The observations of Richer in South America, the theoretical discussions of Newton and Huygens, and the measurements of degrees of latitude in Peru and Sweden demonstrated that the earth is an oblate spheroid.
The earth will then have the form of an oblate spheroid, and the intensity of gravity as a form of universal gravitation will vary with position on the surface of the earth.
It follows from Clairaut's theorem that if the earth is an oblate spheroid, its ellipticity can be determined from relative values of gravity and the absolute value at the equator involved in c.
But it is said, we have a proof that he did not create it in its present solid form, but in a state of fluidity: because its present shape of an oblate spheroid is precisely that, which a fluid mass revolving on its axis would assume.
An oblate spheroid; a figure described by the revolution of an ellipse about its minor axis.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "oblate spheroid" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
