en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

The great-circle distance or orthodromic distance is the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere, measured along the surface of the sphere (as opposed to a straight line through the sphere's interior).The distance between two points in Euclidean space is the length of a straight line between them, but on the sphere there are no straight lines.

In plain geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, or, more precisely, the line segment connecting point A to point B. There are other possibilities when we move off a ...

The first application I was shown of the calculus of variations was proving that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Define a functional measuring the length of a curve between two points: $$I(y) = \int_{x_1}^{x_2} \sqrt{1 + (y')^2}\, dx,$$ apply the Euler-Langrange equation, and Bob's your uncle.

Introduction. The shortest path between two given points in a curved space, assumed to be a differential manifold, can be defined by using the equation for the length of a curve (a function f from an open interval of R to the space), and then minimizing this length between the points using the calculus of variations.This has some minor technical problems, because there is an infinite ...
