Earth spherop
(1) The surface obtained by assigning to the spheropotential function a value such that the volume inclosed by the resulting surface is the same as the volume inclosed by the geoid. Because the volume of the Earth is not directly measurable but must be calculated from data on elevations of the Earth's surface above the geoid and on geoidal heights, the Earth spherop is known only approximately. (2) A spherop containing a volume equal to that contained in the geoid.
