About Distance Calculator
The Distance Calculator helps you find the straight-line distance between two points in 2D or 3D space, or between two geographic locations on Earth. It uses mathematical formulas to compute distances based on the coordinates you provide.
How to Calculate Distance
Distance is calculated differently depending on the coordinate system:
2D Distance (Euclidean Distance):
distance = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
3D Distance:
distance = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²)
Geographic Distance (Haversine Formula):
The calculator uses the Haversine formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points on the Earth's surface given their latitude and longitude coordinates.
Supported Units
The calculator supports multiple units of measurement including:
- Metric units: meters, kilometers, centimeters
- Imperial units: miles, feet, inches
Applications
Distance calculations are used in many fields including:
- Navigation and mapping
- Physics and engineering
- Computer graphics
- Geographic information systems (GIS)
- Sports and fitness tracking
