An ellipsoid is a closed quadric surface that is a three-dimensional analogue of an ellipse. The standard equation of an ellipsoid centered at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and aligned with the axes is
The points (a,0,0), (0,b,0) and (0,0,c) lie on the surface and the line segments from the origin to these points are called the semi-principal axes of length a, b, c. They correspond to the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis of the appropriate ellipses.
There are four distinct cases of which one is degenerate:
Mathematical literature often uses 'ellipsoid' in place of 'tri-axial ellipsoid'. Scientific literature (particularly geodesy) often uses 'ellipsoid' in place of 'ellipsoid of revolution' and only applies the adjective 'tri-axial' when treating the general case. Older literature uses 'spheroid' in place of 'ellipsoid of revolution'.
This is from the middle of my much-longer video "Ellipsoids and The Bizarre Behaviour of Rotating Bodies".

In this video we derive the equation of an ellipse. An ellipse is defined as the locus of all points in the plane for which the sum of the distances r1 and r2 to two fixed points F1 and F2 (called the foci) separated by a distance 2c, is a given constant 2a. Therefore, from this definition the equation of the ellipse is: r1 + r2 = 2a, where a = semi-major axis.

It all started because of a request I put out on twitter.
https://twitter.com/standupmaths/status/1301252952930299904
CORRECTIONS:
- So far the only times (I've noticed that) I say "eclipse" instead of "ellipse" are 5:01 and 05:26 which was just after talking about my wife who is a solar physicist. So I think we split the blame 50/50.
- It seems everyone but me recognised the Root Mean Square. I think I only associate that with current for some reason! Thanks all.
- Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!
Thanks to my Patreons who meant I could spend about a week trying to find approximations for the length of ellipses. "Are you still working on that?" Lucie would - rightfully - ask over the weekend. "I'm going the extra mile for my patreon people!" I would reply. Here is a random subset of those fine folks:
