✦ Synopsis

The correlation between the undulations of the equipotential and topography surface of Venus have been investigated over 16 meridional sections as well as, in the global scale. The correlation is, in general high. However, the figure parameters of the ellipsoids best fitting the surface in question differ significantly. The global features like figures of the best-fitting ellipsoids are mutually strange.
