RE: INTRODUCTION TO GEODESY - GRAVITY & ASTRONOMICAL COORDINATES

in #engineering6 years ago (edited)

@toluakintola0 Hi there, thanks for your question! :)

To be more precise, the Earth's gravitational pull at that distance is balanced by the effect of the centrifugal force induced by its spin. Therefore it would be more accurate to say that the consistency of the surfaces of equivalent gravitational force is neutralized. Keep in mind that the magnitude of gravitational pull depends on distance.

Thanks for pointing that out! I hope you found this comment useful. Let me know if you have any further questions.
