Degrees to Meters Calculator

Convert Between Degrees and Meters



Formula

The formula to convert angle to distance is:

\[ L = \frac{2\pi r A}{360} \]

And to convert distance to angle:

\[ A = \frac{360L}{2\pi r} \]

What is the Distance Between Points on Earth?

The distance between two points on Earth's surface can be calculated using the angle between them and the Earth's radius. This distance is measured along the surface of the sphere, taking into account the curvature of the Earth.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ L = \frac{2\pi \cdot 6371 \cdot 30}{360} = 3,385.12 \text{ kilometers} \]

The Distance between Points (L) is 3,385.12 kilometers.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ A = \frac{360 \cdot 5000}{2\pi \cdot 6371} = 44.97 \text{ degrees} \]

The Angle between Points (A) is 44.97 degrees.
