摘要 The planetary bodies are more of a spheroid than they are a sphere thereby making it necessary to describe motions in a spheroidal coordinate system. Using the oblate spheroidal coordinate system, a more approximate and realistic description of motion in these bodies can be realized. In this paper, we derive the Riemannian acceleration for motion in oblate spheroidal coordinate system using the golden metric tensor in oblate spheroidal coordinates. The Riemannian acceleration in the oblate spheroidal coordinate system reduces to the pure Newtonian acceleration in the limit of c<sup>0</sup> and contains post-Newtonian correction terms of all orders of c<sup>-2</sup>. The result obtained thereby opens the way for further studies and applications of the motion of particles in oblate spheroidal coordinate system.
