Summary

English: Rhumb lines (straight and red) and great circles (curved and blue) on a portion of the Mercator projection. The distances have been calculated for a spherical Earth model of radius 6371km. (The radius approved by the FAI for spherical approximations.) Note the shorter great circle distances. |
