Khi nào dùng 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.
