Moment of Inertia--Earth -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics

The Earth is roughly an oblate spheroid, with the bulge occurring at the equator. Let A be the moment of inertia along an equatorial axis, and let C be the moment of inertia about the polar axis. Then Lambeck (1980) gives

Moment of Inertia, Moment of Inertia--Ellipsoid, Moment of Inertia--Oblate Spheroid, Moment of Inertia--Sphere, Precessional Constant
