Distance Calculator

Steps for Calculation

1. Input Coordinates:
   • Enter the latitude and longitude of Point 1 (e.g., 40.7128 for latitude and -74.0060 for longitude).
   • Enter the latitude and longitude of Point 2 (e.g., 34.0522 for latitude and -118.2437 for longitude).
2. Calculate Distance:
   • Click the Calculate Distance button to compute the distance between the two points.
3. View Result:
   • The distance between the two points will be displayed below the button in kilometers.

Detailed Description

• Haversine Formula:
  • The Haversine formula is used to calculate the great-circle distance between two points on the Earth’s surface given their latitude and longitude.
  • Formula:a=sin⁡2(Δlat2)+cos⁡(lat1)⋅cos⁡(lat2)⋅sin⁡2(Δlon2)a=sin2(2Δlat​)+cos(lat1​)⋅cos(lat2​)⋅sin2(2Δlon​)c=2⋅atan2(a,1−a)c=2⋅atan2(a​,1−a​)Distance=R⋅cDistance=R⋅cWhere:
    • RR = Earth’s radius (6371 km),
    • ΔlatΔlat = Difference in latitude,
    • ΔlonΔlon = Difference in longitude.
• Example Calculation:
  • For Point 1: Latitude = 40.7128, Longitude = -74.0060 (New York City).
  • For Point 2: Latitude = 34.0522, Longitude = -118.2437 (Los Angeles).
  • The calculated distance is approximately 3935.75 km.
