Summary
| Description |
English: Shows the difference between angles of latitude for a position on an oblate spheroid (such as the Earth) when using the geocentric (angle β) and geodetic (angle α) coordinate systems. The segment, IP, bisects the angle GPF, where points G and F are the foci of the elliptical cross-section of the spheroid, and is therefore normal to the ellipse at point P. |
