Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length.
The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude. This distance is an element in solving the second (inverse) geodetic problem.
