Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Shows the difference between angles of latitude for a position on an oblate spheroid (such as the Earth) when using the geocentric (angle β) and geodetic (angle α) coordinate systems. The segment, IP, bisects the angle GPF, where points G and F are the foci of the elliptical cross-section of the spheroid, and is therefore normal to the ellipse at point P.

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it.

The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
