Description

Hi Karl Wright,

In order to decide which type of circle to use (GeoStandardCircle or GeoExactCircle), users might need to know what kind of Planet are dealing with (if planet is a sphere or not). It might have sense to add a method in PlanetModel where the planet describes it self.

Thanks!
