Kapan memakai Planetary Oblateness 3D Explorer
Use this explorer when you want to see how spin squashes a planet, and skip it when you want a gas-giant cloud-band view or the rings of Saturn.
- Explaining the equatorial bulge and the flattening f
- Linking a fast spin to a bigger bulge (Saturn versus Earth)
- Showing why oblateness is a clue to a planet interior
This is an educational visualization drawn to a common pole radius, not a size comparison.
Walk the controls in the step-by-step guide, or compare options in vs alternatives. Open the Planetary Oblateness 3D Explorer.
