text: As nouns the difference between spheroid and ellipsoid is that spheroid is a solid of revolution generated by rotating an ellipse about its major (prolate), or minor (oblate) axis while ellipsoid is (mathematics) a surface, all of whose cross sections are elliptic or circular (includes the sphere).
text: To that end, we are lucky that the ellipsoid is a mathematical figure based upon a semi major and semi minor axis.
text: As nouns the difference between sphere and ellipsoid is that sphere is (mathematics) a regular three-dimensional object in which every cross-section is a circle; the figure described by the revolution of a circle about its diameter while ellipsoid is (mathematics) a surface, all of whose cross sections are elliptic or circular (includes the sphere).

text: As nouns the difference between torus and ellipsoid is that torus is (topology) a topological space which is a product of two circles while ellipsoid is (mathematics) a surface, all of whose cross sections are elliptic or circular (includes the sphere).
text: As nouns the difference between ellipsoid and ellipse is that ellipsoid is (mathematics) a surface, all of whose cross sections are elliptic or circular (includes the sphere) while ellipse is (geometry) a closed curve, the locus of a point such that the sum of the distances from that point to two other fixed points (called the foci of the ellipse) is constant; equivalently, the conic section that is the intersection of a cone with a plane that does not intersect the base of the cone.
text: In context|mathematics|lang=en terms the difference between torus and ellipsoid is that torus is (mathematics) the standard representation of such a space in 3-dimensional euclidean space: a shape consisting of a ring with a circular cross-section: the shape of an inner tube or hollow doughnut while ellipsoid is (mathematics) of or pertaining to an ellipse.
