"Sea Level"

The so-called gravitational equilibrium surface refers to the surface formed by the same point of gravity. On Earth, we call the gravitational equilibrium surface that coincides with the stationary ocean surface the "geodetic level", which is actually equivalent to what we often call sea level.

There is a view that the reason why the Earth looks round is because of the role of the Earth's oceans, which simply means that a large amount of seawater has "filled in" the undulations of the Earth's surface.
