Since the Earth is roughly a sphere, the orthodromic distance of the is often used by mariners to find the distance between two coordinates (knowing its longitude and its latitude) on a map, and the course to be taken to go from one to the other. == Calculation== : is the radius of the earth 6.367.000 meter). : is the latitud (in radians). : is the longitude (in radians). :is the great circle arc, the shortest path between two points on the earth's globe 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orthodromic navigation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
