1 Kilometer (km) is equal to 100000 centimeters (cm). To convert km to cm, multiply the km value by 100000. Kilometer (kilometre) is a metric system length unit. 1 km = 100000 cm.

What you have come to understand as a “day” is classified by astronomers as a solar day. It’s the amount of time it takes for the sun to move through the sky and return to roughly the same spot. This is different from the amount of time it takes for the Earth to turn once on its axis – the 23 hours, 56 minutes.

Distance Between Lines of Latitude Lines of latitude are called parallels and in total there are 180 degrees of latitude. The distance between each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (110 kilometers).

Calculating the Distance Between Two GPS Coordinates with Python (Haversine Formula)

1. ϕ = latitude.
2. λ = longitude.
3. R = 6371 (Earth’s mean radius in km)

Mark how much distance is between the southern parallel to your location. Add this to the latitude of the southern parallel to get the latitude of your location. To measure the longitude you must place the ruler diagonally on the west and east meridians with the ends of the 2 ½ minute ruler touching both meridians.

Take the square root of D2 to find D, the actual distance between the two points. For example, if D2 = 41, then D = 6.403, and so the distance between (-3, 7) and (1, 2) is 6.403.

For this divide the values of longitude and latitude of both the points by 180/pi. The value of pi is 22/7. The value of 180/pi is approximately 57.29577951. If we want to calculate the distance between two places in miles, use the value 3, 963, which is the radius of Earth.
