The influence of the different models of the Earth on the determination of Love's constant k2 from the analysis of satellite orbit inclination is studied. The source for studying these phenomena are the papers of Smith (1974) and Wahr (1981). The model of an elastic, non-rotating, spherical Earth is, in Smith's and Wahr's papers, replaced by a model of an elastic, slightly elliptical and rotating Earth. The error in the determination of k2, using the simple model, was studied by applying Wahr's result.
