Spheroidal Distance in Electromagnetic Distance Measurement Formulas

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). And is denoted by S. Spheroidal Distance is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Spheroidal Distance is always positive.

FAQ

What is the 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). Spheroidal Distance is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Spheroidal Distance is always positive.

Can the Spheroidal Distance be negative?

No, the Spheroidal Distance, measured in Length cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Spheroidal Distance?

Spheroidal Distance is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Spheroidal Distance can be measured.
