The great circle is the shortest distance between the two points along the surface of the spherical earth. Notice that th e intersection between the plane and the earth goes considerably north (pole ward) of the constant latitude path. At the maximum the difference in the two paths is about 350 km.
Great Circle Project Franz Helfenstein The Great Circle Route is the shortest distance between two points on the globe's surface. Given the Longitude (M) and Latitude (L) of two such locations, the arc distance (s) can be found using this two stage formula. cos (θ) = sin L 1 sin L 2 + cos L 1 cos L 2 cos (M 2 − M 1) s = 2π R E ·θ°/360°; R E
The distance between two points on the Earth is computed using a Great Circle, that is, the shortest distance which on a sphere is along the path of a circle whose center is the center of the sphere.
1 sie 2016 · An analytic and the most generalized formula has been derived to accurately compute the minimum distance or great circle distance between any two arbitrary points on a sphere of finite...
Great Circle is passing through the position on the Equator directly below the viewer at 100o00’W. The Great Circle has an inclination of 33o as it crosses the Equator, which is an angle of 57o to the meridian. From this perspective it is easy to see that the Great Circle, on its path northeasterly from the Equator, will reach higher latitudes.
Great-circle navigation or orthodromic navigation (related to orthodromic course; from Ancient Greek ορθός (orthós) 'right angle', and δρόμος (drómos) 'path') is the practice of navigating a vessel (a ship or aircraft) along a great circle. Such routes yield the shortest distance between two points on the globe.
