well earth has different radius at poles and equator .At poles it is 6357 km and at equator it is 6378km hence have a diffrence of 21 km.Basically oblateness mean to be flat at two the ends of sphere like a egg.This cause a adiitional force of gravity on satellite when they comes in top of equator.This addition force tends satellite to accelerating it to lower latitute and deaccelerating while going to highter latitue.This shape at equator is calles equitorial bulge.
