Haversine formula

a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ₁ · cos φ₂ · sin²(Δλ/2) d = 2R · asin(√a), R ≈ 6,371 km

φ is latitude and λ longitude, in radians. Example: New York (40.7128, −74.0060) to London (51.5074, −0.1278) ≈ 5,570 km. Find coordinates by right-clicking a spot in most map apps.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the driving distance?
