Anwendungsbeispiele Englisch
  • In this case, geodesics are arcs of great circle, which are called orthodromes in the context of navigation.
  • In mathematics, a great circle or orthodrome is the circular intersection of a sphere and a plane passing through the sphere's center point.
  • All cables presently in service use fiber optic technology. Many cables terminate in Newfoundland and Ireland, which lie on the great circle route from London, UK to New York City, US.
  • This is approximated mathematically by the great-circle distance on a sphere.
  • During the "Khrushchev Thaw" period, the Soviet writer Ivan Efremov produced the science-fiction utopia "Andromeda" (1957) in which a major cultural thaw took place: humanity communicates with a galaxy-wide Great Circle and develops its technology and culture within a social framework characterized by vigorous competition between alternative philosophies.

  • A "great circle" on the sphere has the same center and radius as the sphere, and divides it into two equal "hemispheres".
  • Strabo stated degrees in either cubits or as a proportion of a great circle.
  • Converting ruler distance on the Mercator map into true (great circle) distance on the sphere is straightforward along the equator but nowhere else.
  • The exact distance varies along meridian arcs or any other great circle arcs because the figure of the Earth is slightly oblate (bulges a third of a percent at the equator).
  • In spherical geometry, length is measured along the great circles on the sphere and the distance between two points on the sphere is the shorter of the two lengths on the great circle, which is determined by the plane through the two points and the center of the sphere.

  • The plane through the centre of the Earth and perpendicular to the rotation axis intersects the surface at a great circle called the Equator.
  • The solutions to both problems in plane geometry reduce to simple trigonometry and are valid for small areas on Earth's surface; on a sphere, solutions become significantly more complex as, for example, in the inverse problem, the azimuths differ going between the two end points along the arc of the connecting great circle.
