How does Geopy calculate distance?

Geopy can calculate geodesic distance between two points using the geodesic distance or the great-circle distance, with a default of the geodesic distance available as the function geopy. distance.
 

What is Geopy distance?

pip install geopy. Geodesic Distance: It is the length of the shortest path between 2 points on any surface. In our case, the surface is the earth. Below program illustrates how to calculate geodesic distance from latitude-longitude data.
 

How do you calculate distance using geolocation?

For this divide the values of longitude and latitude of both the points by 180/pi. The value of pi is 22/7. The value of 180/pi is approximately 57.29577951. If we want to calculate the distance between two places in miles, use the value 3, 963, which is the radius of Earth.
