Difference between Great-circle distance and Longitude

Great-circle distance vs. Longitude

The great-circle distance or orthodromic distance is the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere, measured along the surface of the sphere (as opposed to a straight line through the sphere's interior). Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface.

Similarities between Great-circle distance and Longitude

Great-circle distance and Longitude have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cartesian coordinate system, Geodesic, Geodesy, Geodetic datum, Geographical distance, Latitude, Meridian arc, Spheroid, World Geodetic System.

Cartesian coordinate system

A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length.

Geodesic

In differential geometry, a geodesic is a generalization of the notion of a "straight line" to "curved spaces".

Geodesy

Geodesy, also known as geodetics, is the earth science of accurately measuring and understanding three of Earth's fundamental properties: its geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravitational field.

Geodetic datum

A geodetic datum or geodetic system is a coordinate system, and a set of reference points, used to locate places on the Earth (or similar objects).

Meridian arc

In geodesy, a meridian arc measurement is the distance between two points with the same longitude, i.e., a segment of a meridian curve or its length.

Spheroid

A spheroid, or ellipsoid of revolution, is a quadric surface obtained by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes; in other words, an ellipsoid with two equal semi-diameters.
