What is an oblate sphere?
A spheroid is to an ellipse what a sphere is to a circle. If you rotate an ellipse around either its major or minor axis (the major axis is the one that runs from pointy end to pointy end, the minor axis is perpendicular to this, running from flat end to flat end) the three dimensional projection you produce is a spheroid. If the spheroid you produce has a shorter polar diameter than equatorial diameter, it is said to be oblate, and looks a bit like a soccer ball would if you squeezed it between your hands. The alternative, with a longer polar diameter than equatorial diameter is a prolate spheroid.
What is prolate planets?
Planets that are elongated. Picture a watermelon standing on end.
How do cells form spheroids?
Spherical, heterogeneous aggregates of proliferating, quiescent, and necrotic cells in culture that retain three-dimensional architecture and tissue-specific functions. The ability to form spheroids is a characteristic trait of CULTURED TUMOR CELLS derived from solid TUMORS. Cells from normal tissues can also form spheroids. They represent an in-vitro model for studies of the biology of both normal and malignant cells. (From Bjerkvig, Spheroid Culture in Cancer Research, 1992)
What is the shapes of all nine of our planets?
They are 8 major planets and 5 known dwarf planets. All are approximately spherical, and a better approximation is to consider them as oblate spheroids.
Which planet is nearly round in shape?
All planets in our solar system are somewhat squished in shape due to their rotation, or are "oblate spheroids" - but Venus is the least oblate or the most spherical, owing to its slow rotation.
What is the shape of football?
An American football, a Rugby football and an Aussie rules ball are all prolate spheroids (pointed ovals). A soccer ball is a sphere.

What has the author Hans-Peter Kreplin written?

Which shape has the fewest sides?
Spheres, eggs, footballs, oblate and prolate spheroids, as well as most other finite solids of revolution, each have only two sides ... the in-side and the out-side.
What section of the supermarket holds cartons of spheroids?
Spheroids are sphere-like shapes. Eggs are sphere-like. Eggs can be found in the diary section!
