What is the difference between the geoid and the surface of the earth?

Submitted by: Administrator
The geoid is an imaginary surface that equivalences with the average (mean) sea level around the world.

Therefore, it is not an actual or real thing like the continents themselves that form the surface of the earth, but merely a useful model that we can imagine to extend through the continents.
