spherical light
- Prove that two great circles intersect.
- Prove that two great circles bisect each other.
- The sphere of radius one can be considered as
In these two coordinate systems determine the distance along great circles between two arbitrary points on the sphere as a function of the coordinates. - A pole of a great circle is one of the endpoints of a diameter of the sphere perpendicular to the plane of the great circle. For example, the North and South poles are both poles for the equator. Prove that through a given point, not on a given great circle and not the pole of the great circle, there is a unique great circle ghrough the given point perpendicular to the given great circle.
