Did you do a Google search with key words:Hi is there such thing as a "great circle equation"? based on a intersecting plane and sphere?? I'm trying to find the points on a great circle
thanks in advance
Hi thanks fro the reply, I'm asking about a "great circle formula" not a generic intersection of planes and sphere. Thanks againDid you do a Google search with key words:
intersecting planes and spheres
I literally found reference to 16 million sites!
yeah there are infinite solutions, but there are also infinite solutions for a line but y=mx+b still exists for some odd reasonAny sphere has an infinite number of great circles. Not sure what you are asking.
Your question is not clear. Do you have a sphere and a plane passing through its center, both with known equations, and you want to obtain an equation of the great circle?yeah there are infinite solutions, but there are also infinite solutions for a line but y=mx+b still exists for some odd reason
it's a real simple binary question: does a formula exist for a great circle?
There are "great circle formulas" among those URL's cited. Please do a little digging and find those....Hi thanks fro the reply, I'm asking about a "great circle formula" not a generic intersection of planes and sphere. Thanks again
