Going to Amsterdam…Going to Amsterdam…
This is the “fly straight east” path
This is the “great circle” path

Fly “Straight East”
Trip distance is the fraction of a circle of this radius one flies when going from Edmonton to Amsterdam. This is easy because the two cities are almost the same latitude.

Is this the shortest path?

The Geodesic Path…The Geodesic Path…
The shortest path is part of a great circle (one centered on the center of the earth). This is also known as a geodesic path
All we need is a mathematical technique to find the angle between two vectors … hmm …
