About Distance Calculator

Our Global Distance Calculator uses the Haversine formula to calculate the great circle distance between two points on Earth. This gives you the shortest distance "as the crow flies" between capital cities of different countries.

Flight times are estimated based on an average commercial aircraft cruising speed of 800 km/h (497 mph). Actual flight times may vary based on aircraft type, wind conditions, and flight paths.

Driving times are rough estimates based on an average speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). These are theoretical calculations - many routes may not be drivable due to oceans, terrain, or lack of roads. Actual driving times depend on routes, traffic, border crossings, and road conditions.

The calculator also shows you the nearest and farthest countries from your selected origin, helping you discover geographical relationships and plan international travel more effectively.
