Great Circle Distances
for Selected International Cities and Locales.
The table below is a summary of great circle mileages I have calculated using Andrew Gray's Java-based calculator . The main assumption made is that the earth is spherical with an average radius of 6,371 km (or 3,959 statute miles). Latitudes and longitudes are taken from Google Earth.
