Feb 3, 2020 at 14:55 comment added Richter65 The multipole expansion applies to a $1/r$ potential with a finite density localized to a particular region, and it's only valid outside that region. So you can't do the expansion at a reference point inside the object.

Jul 31, 2019 at 10:36 comment added Hartmut Braun If you only consider monopole then the field is not related to the shape, because different sized earths (different shape) of same mass result in the same field. Only when you take the field inside the object into account, you will have a relation to the shape. But then it‘s not a monopole anymore... hmmm.... nice question!
