Hi - was wondering if anyone could point me to how I might be able to work out the distance between two points on the globe (going through the Earth's crust) given longitude and latitude? I was previously under the impression that this was termed "straight-line distance", but have also seen "straight-line distance" used to refer to distance "as the crow flies", which is not what I'm after. Would really appreciate it if someone could clear things up... thanks in advance! -- 220.246.244.132 ( talk) 09:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
