Torus geometry in the equatorial and meridional planes for Case 1 (a, b) and Case 2 (c, d), where geometries are represented with red curves. The horizontal black solid line is the Sun–Earth line. The blue lines on the equatorial and meridional plots have angular extents of φhw and φhh, respectively, about the Sun–Earth line. In this example, φhw = 40° and φhh = 12°. In Case 1, R0 = 7.6 and a = 6.2, making the aspect ratio 1.23. In Case 2, R0 = 11.1 and a = 6.9, making the aspect ratio 1.6.
