The variations of the earth's magnetopause and the bow shock position are studied on the basis of simultaneous measurements by the Prognoz 10 and IMP-8 spacecraft. The real boundary position determined by one spacecraft is compared with the boundary position calculated from the model developed by Formisano (1979). The differences between the calculated and observed boundary positions are discussed from the point of view of possible influences of different solar wind parameters on these deviations. The magnetopause shape calculated by Olson (1962), Fairfield (1971), and Choe et al. (1973) for a dipole magnetic field is found to be a better approximation than Formisano's 3D fit. Formisano's fit to the bow shock can be used to determine the bow-shock position if the additional influence of the interplanetary magnetic field strength is taken into account.
