The Earth is not an exact ellipsoid, and deviations from this shape are continuously evaluated. The geoid is the name given to the shape that the Earth would assume if it were measured at mean sea-level. This is an undulating surface that varies not more than about a hundred metres above or below a well-fitting ellipsoid, a variation far less than the ellipsoid varies from the sphere. It is important to remember that elevations and contour lines on the Earth are reported relative to the geoid, not the ellipsoid. Latitude, Longitude and all plane coordinate systems, on the other hand, are determined with respect to the ellipsoid.
