Earth’s Gravity Map 3D Model – Global Gravity Anomalies with Color & Height Maps

Earth’s Gravity Map 3D Model is a high-polygon digital model designed for scientific visualization, education, and professional graphics. It represents global gravitational anomalies using a combination of color-coded textures and exaggerated height displacement to clearly illustrate variations in Earth’s gravity field.

Unlike artistic geoid sculptures, this model focuses on data-driven visualization, making it suitable for presentations, simulations, and educational content.

Global Gravity Anomalies Visualization

A geoid is an equipotential surface of Earth’s gravity field, perpendicular to the direction of gravity at every point. Because the planet’s mass distribution is uneven, gravity strength varies across the surface, resulting in an irregular geoid shape.

On this Earth gravity map, regions with stronger gravity are shown in red, while areas with weaker gravity appear in blue. Gravity variations are also expressed through height exaggeration, improving readability and visual clarity.

Scientific Context

Earth’s surface gravity varies by approximately 0.7%, ranging from about 9.7639 m/s² at high-altitude equatorial regions to 9.8337 m/s² near the polar oceans. This model visually communicates those variations in an intuitive and accessible way.
