A Maclaurin spheroid is a specific type of spheroid that arises in the field of gravitational physics and fluid dynamics. It is named after the mathematician Colin Maclaurin, who studied the figure of equilibrium shapes of rotating fluid bodies. In essence, a Maclaurin spheroid is a symmetrical, ellipsoidal shape that can be described as a type of oblate spheroid.
