Great Circle Route

Great Circle sailing. Had to re-do this video in english as we now have followers from different countries. #seaman #seafarer #maritime #learnontiktok

The shortest distance between two points on a globe is not always a straight line—it's an arc called a great circle. This complicates long-distance navigation. Rather than stay on a constant heading, pilots must regularly adjust their course to stay on the arc. The great circle effect is most dramatic near the Poles. What do Flatearthers have to say about this? https://timeandnavigation. #flatearth #conspiracy #earth

Chicago to Dubai. Why are great circles the shortest flight path? #chicago #dubai #flight #usa #uae

Shortest distance between Chile and Australia, or any two points on the Earth's surface, is always represented by a great circle route. These routes follow the curvature of the Earth and appear curved on flat maps. Traveling over the Arctic, in this case, would not be a shorter or more efficient route due to the Earth's spherical shape, and it would significantly increase the travel time and distance. When we think about the shortest distance between two points on a globe, like Chile and Australia, we have to consider the Earth's curved surface. Imagine drawing a straight line between these two points on a map. To find the true shortest path, we need to consider this line in the context of the Earth's spherical shape. A great circle route represents the shortest distance between any two points on the Earth's surface. It is the circumference of a circle that divides the Earth into two equal halves. When you draw a line on the Earth's surface connecting two locations, the shortest route will always follow a great circle. Now, if you look at a globe or a map, you'll notice that the shortest path between Chile and Australia appears to curve over the Pacific Ocean. This route is following the great circle path, which takes into account the Earth's spherical shape. Even though it might seem counterintuitive when looking at a flat map, the curved path over the Pacific Ocean is indeed the shortest distance between these two points. On the other hand, if you were to attempt to travel from Chile to Australia by going over the Arctic, you would be taking a longer route. This route would not follow the great circle path and would, in fact, be inefficient and much longer in terms of both time and distance. The Earth's circumference is smaller near the poles, so traveling over the Arctic would involve a longer journey.

Helsinki 🇫🇮 to Tokyo 🇯🇵 | Finn Air | Airbus A350 Two different routes but why ? @Flytheflight Helsinki to Tokyo. 🌍✈️ Great Circle Route: The shortest path between these two cities is known as the Great Circle Route. It traces the curvature of the Earth and is the most efficient way for aircraft to travel. You can visualize this route on the Great Circle Map, which displays geodesic flight paths on top of Google Maps1. 🌐🗺️ Polar Routes: Some airlines, like Finnair, operate polar routes between Helsinki and Tokyo. These flights fly over the North Pole, providing a fascinating experience for aviation enthusiasts. Imagine soaring above the icy expanse of the Arctic! 🌏❄️ Finnair’s Challenges: Finnair faces unique challenges with Russian airspace, but their A350 aircraft make these polar routes possible. Flying over the North Pole offers stunning views and a sense of adventure. Check out videos and articles about these extraordinary routes23. 🛫🌠 #AviationAdventures #PolarRoutes #GreatCircleJourney #HelsinkiToTokyo #wanderlust Bon voyage! 🌟🛩️

Replying to @r3lentlesss circle route it's just a faster flight path. we don't need faster flight paths in order to travel. we use latitude and longitude to pinpoint location if we use curvatitude we will never be able to navigate accurately a location. if we went downwards every few miles of distance we traveled we would never find different locations
