Spheroidal Distance for Geodimeters Formula Elements

Variables
Spheroidal Distance
Spheroidal distance is the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere, measured along the surface of the sphere (as opposed to a straight line through the sphere's interior).
Symbol: S
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reduced Distance
Reduced distance is the distance which is reduced over the ellipsoid between the projections of the two points onto the ellipsoid.
Symbol: K
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Earth Radius in km
Earth radius in km is the distance from the center of Earth to a point on or near its surface. Approximating earth as a spheroid, the radius ranges from 6,357 km to 6,378 km.
Symbol: R
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
