$$ {x^2 \over a^2}+{y^2 \over b^2}+{z^2 \over c^2}=1, $$ The oblate and prolate are the only ellipsoids with two radii: There are four distinct cases of which one is degenerate: a>b>c — tri-axial or (rarely) scalene ellipsoid; a=b>c — oblate ellipsoid of revolution (oblate spheroid); a=b<c — prolate ellipsoid of revolution (prolate spheroid); a=b=c — the degenerate case of a sphere;
