≡ 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.

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 .
