The total amount of salt contained in the sea can be measured.5. In recent centuries it was learned that the earth is an imperfect sphere, slightly flattened at the poles and stretched at the Equator.6. The orbits of the first artificial satellites, launched in 1957 and 1958,showed that the flattening is less than had been thought.7. Numerically the flattening is defined as the difference between the equatorialdiameter and the polar diameter, divided by the equatorial diameter.8. The earth's shape, derived by Newton theoretically in his Principia in1687, was a great help at that time.
