This tool estimates the distance between two locations for you using their coordinates.
Distance Estimator
This distance estimator calculates the distance between two points on the Earth’s surface using the Haversine formula.
How to Use
- Enter the latitude and longitude of the starting point in the respective fields.
- Enter the latitude and longitude of the ending point in the respective fields.
- Click the “Calculate” button to estimate the distance.
- The result will be displayed in the “Result” field, measured in kilometers.
Explanation of Calculations
The distance is calculated using the Haversine formula, which considers the curvature of the Earth for more accurate results. The inputs for latitude and longitude must be in decimal degrees.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a perfect sphere and uses the average Earth radius of 6371 km. It might have a slight margin of error due to slight deviations in the Earth’s shape and inaccuracies in input coordinates.
