  2. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    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 ...

  3. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

    However, if the map is marked with an accurate and finely spaced latitude scale from which the latitude may be read directly—as is the case for the Mercator 1569 world map (sheets 3, 9, 15) and all subsequent nautical charts—the meridian distance between two latitudes φ 1 and φ 2 is simply

  4. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse...

    Geodesy. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.

  5. Arctic Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle

    The Arctic Circle is one of the two polar circles, and the most northerly of the five major circles of latitude as shown on maps of Earth at about 66° 34' N. [1] Its southern equivalent is the Antarctic Circle. The Arctic Circle marks the southernmost latitude at which, on the winter solstice (which is the shortest day of the year) in the ...

  6. Geohash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash

    Geohash is a public domain geocode system invented in 2008 by Gustavo Niemeyer [1] which encodes a geographic location into a short string of letters and digits. Similar ideas were introduced by G.M. Morton in 1966. [2] It is a hierarchical spatial data structure which subdivides space into buckets of grid shape, which is one of the many ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiteezi_Landfill

    The Kiteezi Landfill (Luganda: Kiteezi Kasasiro), also known as the Kiteezi Rubbish Dump, is a solid waste disposal site in Uganda.It is the main solid waste disposal site for the capital city of Kampala, with a projected metropolitan population of approximately 4 million people, as of 2024, serving the homes, businesses and industries of that metropolis.

  8. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    Vincenty's formulae. Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a). They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods that assume a ...

  9. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    Two antipodal points, u and v are also shown. The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them. This arc is the shortest path between the two points on the surface of the sphere. (By comparison, the shortest path passing ...
