Longitude
The azimuthal coordinate on the surface of a Sphere (
in Spherical Coordinates) or on a Spheroid (inProlate or Oblate Spheroidal Coordinates). Longitude is defined such that0° = 360°. Lines of constant longitude are generally called Meridians. The other angularcoordinate on the surface of a Sphere is called the Latitude.
The shortest distance between any two points on a Sphere is the so-called Great Circle distance, which can bedirectly computed from the Latitude and longitudes of two points.
