RE: INTRODUCTION TO GEODESY - GRAVITY & ASTRONOMICAL COORDINATES

@lordneroo i do have a question i have been confused about how the earth gravitational pull is being neutralized by its centrifugal at that distance of about 42000 km force please i will like you to elaborate on that for me thanks

    @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.
