Rotation rate, oblateness and measured external gravitational multipoles provide constraints beyond mass and radius; spin-axis precession/nutation and satellite dynamics can add moment-related information. For a giant planet the deep rotation rate and hydrostatic approximation matter. These measurements require an interior model or supplementary constraints for an accurate moment: a spherically symmetric body's exterior monopole alone cannot reveal its radial density distribution. An exact moment cannot generally be inferred just by labeling a measured $J_2$ as $C$.
