Formula Used

This calculator uses the Haversine formula to calculate distances between two points on the Earth's surface:

a = sin²(Δφ/2) + cos φ1 ⋅ cos φ2 ⋅ sin²(Δλ/2)
c = 2 ⋅ atan2(√a, √(1−a))
d = R ⋅ c

Where:

φ is latitude, λ is longitude
R is Earth's radius (6,371 km or 3,959 miles)
Δφ and Δλ are differences in coordinates

The formula accounts for the Earth's curvature and provides accurate distance measurements.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the distance between Sebring International Raceway and Sebring High School:

Location	Latitude	Longitude
Sebring International Raceway	27.4633° N	81.4314° W
Sebring High School	27.4589° N	81.4414° W

Using the Haversine formula:

Δφ = 27.4633° - 27.4589° = 0.0044°
Δλ = 81.4314° - 81.4414° = -0.01°
a = sin²(0.0044°/2) + cos(27.4633°) ⋅ cos(27.4589°) ⋅ sin²(-0.01°/2)
c = 2 ⋅ atan2(√a, √(1−a))
d = 3,959 miles ⋅ c ≈ 0.8 miles

The calculated distance is approximately 0.8 miles.
