Abstract
It has been proved that the geoidal valueW 0 is not dependent on the system used for defining the geoid surface. It is the same for the zero-frequency tidal system, mean system and tide-free system. It has been suggested,W 0 be adopted as primary constant defining the length dimensions of celestial bodies.
