Calculate the distance between two points using latitude and longitudeΒΆ
Calculate the distance between two points using latitude and longitude.
Expected output:
Input coordinates of two points:
Starting latitude: 23.5
Ending longitude: 67.5
Starting latitude: 25.3
Ending longitude: 69.5
The distance is 284.73km.
from math import radians, sin, cos, acos
print("Input coordinates of two points:")
slat = radians(float(input("Starting latitude: ")))
slon = radians(float(input("Ending longitude: ")))
elat = radians(float(input("Starting latitude: ")))
elon = radians(float(input("Ending longitude: ")))
dist = 6371.01 * acos(sin(slat)*sin(elat) + cos(slat)*cos(elat)*cos(slon - elon))
print("The distance is %.2fkm." % dist)
Output:
Input coordinates of two points:
Starting latitude: 23.5
Ending longitude: 67.5
Starting latitude: 25.5
Ending longitude: 69.5
The distance is 300.67km.
