Sketch of a horizontal prolate ellipsoid.
Horizontal ellipsoids—also called spheroids—have an elliptical floor and an elliptical cross-section on one axis. The second axis always forms a circular cross-section. The most common shape is a prolate ellipsoid with a long major axis, a shorter minor axis, and the floor below the beltline.
