	Equatorial bulge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An equatorial bulge is a planetological term which describes a bulge which a planet may have around its equator, distorting it into an oblate spheroid.
		The planet with the largest known equatorial bulge (11808 km, 7337 miles) is Saturn.
		Because of a planet's equatorial bulge, its gravitational field is weaker at the equator than its poles.

	Tire Terminology
		The angle of the reinforcing members in the belt in reference to the equatorial plane are bout 5Eless than the angle of the reinforcing members of the carcass.
		"Equatorial plane (EP)" means the plane perpendicular to the tire's axis of rotation and passing through the center of its tread.
		"Lateral Edge" means the axially outermost edge of the tread as defined by a plane parallel to the equatorial plane and intersecting the outer ends of the axially outermost traction lugs at the radial height of the inner tread surface.

		Airport sources said Saturday that the plane's passenger manifest showed 35 passengers and 10 crew members but that determining the exact number of people aboard the aircraft was difficult as crews are often bribed to take additional passengers.
		Most of the planes, piloted mainly by Russians, Ukrainians and Armenians, are Soviet-era aircraft that often no longer meet international flight standards and are not allowed to land at airports in other countries in the region.

	Satellite orbiting toward west in the equatorial plane and meteorological satellite system using the satellite - Patent ...
		Although the altitude of the westward equatorial satellite is relatively low or about 40% of the altitude of a geostationary meteorological satellite, it is yet a height suitable for observing the whole earth surface as is obvious from the image of the earth in FIG.
		As a result, the westward equatorial satellite and the satellite's propulsion stage attached thereto are injected into an elongated elliptical orbit 11 having an inclination angle of about 30 degrees and, after a while, reach point B at an altitude of 100,000 km.
		The fact that a useful orbit must be in the equatorial plane can be seen from both the feasibility of using an antenna of such simple construction at a receiving station and the need for preventing a change in the configuration from one to another of the images as shown in FIG.

		In the solar_system, the inclination (''i'' in figure 1, below) of the orbit of a planet is defined as the angle between the plane of the orbit of the planet, and the ecliptic, which is the orbit of Earth.
		And in particular, for the Earth, the inclination or obliquity of the ecliptic is the angle between the plane of the ecliptic and the equator.

		In attempting to develop Reich's conclusion that "the equatorial orgone envelope provides the concrete physical mover of the planets," [1:81] it is shown that the directions of rotation of the sun and each of the nine planets are in simple functional relations to the galactic plane.
		The plane defined by the Earth's equator is called the equatorial plane, the plane defined by the solar system is called the ecliptic plane, and the plane defined by the (flattened disk) of the galaxy is called the galactic plane.
		Specifically, "the path of the sun on the ecliptic, which deviates from the equatorial plane by 23.5 degrees, thus appears as the resultant of the galactic and the equatorial orgone energy streams, with the latter constituting the slightly stronger force.

		The most natural coordinate frame from the observer's point of view is the horizontal frame where the reference plane is the tangent plane of the Earth passing through the observer.
		Therefore the equatorial plane is a suitable reference plane for a coordinate frame that has to be independent of time and the position of the observer.
		The intersection of the celestrial sphere and the equatorial plane is great circle (celestial equator) and pole is the perpendicular direction to this plane (Equatorial System).

		Some of the TVRO sats are geosynchronous, but not geostationary, ie their longitude is nearly constant, but their orbit is inclined so that they drift north and south of the equator once per day.
		Since a properly aligned TVRO dish only looks at the sats in the equatorial plane, this means that without some form of elevation control, that these will only be visible twice a day for about an hour each, as they cross the equator.
		Since the TVRO sats are not infinitely far away, you cannot sight your dish parallel to the equatorial plane, but you must tilt the dish down from this plane slightly, by an angle referred to as the DECLINATION ANGLE.
