Shortest distance is always along the great circle. All latitudes but the Equator are small circles . Maybe you need to check again: the answer is around 7111 km. You can generate the formula for shortest distance by transferring to the equator or solve directly . Kudos bro, you are doing a great job
Sir, as you present a sphere I presume you also consider distances along the great circle. If so your distance for the given coordinates is wrong. According to the Haversine formula the great circle distance (=shortest distance along sphere) should be 7108 km, based on Earth radius 6400 km. So your distance 6748 km is then more than 5% too short.
Quite sad. I have seen several different approaches on the shortest distance in earth geometry giving different answers altogether. I don't know which one is correct. There are two points which are causing this confusion; the direction of the shortest distance and the angle of the shortest distance. We need to establish a correct concept on this one otherwise most videos are misleading.
Great....
Great 👍
Always on point sir
Thanks so much dear

Sir please solve board mass problems

The distance between two points on the earth's surface is on the great circle, not a chord... That is also known as geodesic.
What will be the value of alpha if Two points have different North value?
What is a formula for finding shortest distance between two points along the great circle?
The Haversine formula, for Excel it will be like this:
=ACOS( SIN(lat1)*SIN(lat2) + COS(lat1)*COS(lat2)*COS(lon2-lon1) ) * 6371000
Wrong answer... The shortest distance should be always along the great circle...

Make different latitude
The answer is wrong sir.
Wrong answer, please read before making your presentations public. So misleading
