20.8987/N 156.4305/W Kahului Airport
47.4647/N 8.5492/E Zurich Airport
23.4356/S 46.4731/W Sao Paolo-Guarulhos International Airport
Start Location: 33.9425/N 118.408/W (Los Angeles International Airport)
Closest Location: 20.8987/N 156.43/W (Kahului Airport) (2483.3 miles)
Farthest Location: 23.4356/S 46.4731/W (Sao Paolo-Guarulhos International Airport) (6164.9 miles)
Formula:
let lat1 be the latitude of the first location
let lat2 be the latitude of the second location
let lon1 be the longitude of the first location
let lon2 be the longitude of the second location
let dlat be the difference in latitudes between the locations
let dlon be the difference in longitudes between the locations
let a = sin2(dlat/2) + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * sin2(dlon/2)
let c = 2 * atan2(sqrt(a), sqrt(1 - a))
let d = R * c R, in this part of the formula, is the radius of the Earth R = 3,959.9 miles
