Figure Of Planets

Figure of Planets is a theoretical construct in planetary science that specifies the equilibrium shape of a planet resulting from the balance between gravitational forces and rotational dynamics, differentiated from other geodetic models by its focus on the planet's gross outer form as determined by self-gravitation and spin-induced deformation.
