Formula & How It Works

Ellipsoid math

Volume: V = 4πabc/3 (semi-axes a, b, c)
Surface (Knud Thomsen): S ≈ 4π[(aᵖbᵖ+aᵖcᵖ+bᵖcᵖ)/3]^(1/p), p = 1.6075, error <1.1%
a=b=c=R gives the sphere V = 4πR³/3
Earth is an oblate ellipsoid: a=b≈6378 km, c≈6357 km

Example: egg a=3, b=c=2.2 cm → V ≈ 60.8 cm³; Earth's volume ≈ 1.083×10¹² km³.
