≡ START First steps Deutsch Ellipsoid : Length of meridian arc

The length of a meridian arc m between the parallels of ellipsoidal latitudes φ₁ and φ₂ is computed. Also the inverse problem is solved.

Note

Ellipsoid of rotation
Unit of latitude

Quantity	Value

Did you know? If instead of the geodetic latitude a different latitude is given or desired then it can be converted using .
