Earth section paths
text:
Earth section paths are plane curves defined by the intersection of an earth ellipsoid and a plane. Common examples include the great ellipse and normal sections. Earth section paths are useful as approximate solutions for geodetic problems, the direct and inverse calculation of geographic distances. The rigorous solution of geodetic problems involves skew curves known as geodesics.
