An ellipsoid has three axes of rotational symmetry If an ellipsoid is rotated 180° (half a turn) about its axes, it will look the same as the original shape The three axes are perpendicular to each other and they intersect at one point, called the center of the ellipsoid

The general ellipsoid, also called a triaxial ellipsoid, is a quadratic surface which is given in Cartesian coordinates by (x^2) (a^2)+ (y^2) (b^2)+ (z^2) (c^2)=1, (1) where the semi-axes are of lengths a, b, and c

Ellipsoid, closed surface of which all plane cross sections are either ellipses or circles An ellipsoid is symmetrical about three mutually perpendicular axes that intersect at the centre

An ellipsoid is a shape like a sphere, but prolate (longer in one or more directions) like a rugby ball, or like an egg It is the 3 dimensional analogue of an ellipse

The section of an ellipsoid by any plane is an ellipse If two semi-axes of an ellipsoid are equal, the ellipsoid is called an ellipsoid of revolution, and the sections of an ellipsoid of revolution by planes parallel to the plane of the equal semi-axes are circles

Just as an ellipse is a generalization of a circle, an ellipsoid is a generalization of a sphere In fact, our planet Earth is not a true sphere; it's an ellipsoid, because it's a little wider than it is tall

An ellipsoid is a three-dimensional shape that is symmetrical along three axes It can be defined as the surface that results from the rotation of an ellipse about one of its axes

An ellipsoid is a three-dimensional surface that is a 3D analogue of an ellipse It can be visualized as a sphere that has been stretched or compressed along its three perpendicular axes
