  2. Geographical mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_mile

    In any ellipsoid, the length of a degree of longitude at the equator is exactly 60 geographical miles. The Earth's radius at the equator in the GRS80 ellipsoid is 6,378,137.0000 m, [3] which makes the geographical mile 1,855.3248 m. The rounding of the Earth's radius to metres in GRS80 has an effect of 0.0001 m.

  3. Distance (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_(graph_theory)

    The greatest length of any of these paths is the diameter of the graph. A central vertex in a graph of radius r is one whose eccentricity is r —that is, a vertex whose distance from its furthest vertex is equal to the radius, equivalently, a vertex v such that ϵ(v) = r.

  4. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    Vincenty's goal was to express existing algorithms for geodesics on an ellipsoid in a form that minimized the program length (Vincenty 1975a). His unpublished report (1975b) mentions the use of a Wang 720 desk calculator, which had only a few kilobytes of memory.

  5. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    When calculating the length of a short north-south line at the equator, the circle that best approximates that line has a radius of (which equals the meridian's semi-latus rectum), or 6335.439 km, while the spheroid at the poles is best approximated by a sphere of radius , or 6399.594 km, a 1% difference. So long as a spherical Earth is assumed ...

  6. Scale (map) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(map)

    A graphical or bar scale. A map would also usually give its scale numerically ("1:50,000", for instance, means that one cm on the map represents 50,000cm of real space, which is 500 meters) A bar scale with the nominal scale expressed as "1:600 000", meaning 1 cm on the map corresponds to 600,000 cm=6 km on the ground.

  7. Circumference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumference

    The above formula can be rearranged to solve for the circumference: = =. The ratio of the circle's circumference to its radius is equivalent to 2 π {\displaystyle 2\pi } . [ a ] This is also the number of radians in one turn .
