Distances

Uses the following functions:

AstronomyLibs_Distances_mi2km
AstronomyLibs_Distances_km2mi
AstronomyLibs_Distances_au2km
AstronomyLibs_Distances_km2au
AstronomyLibs_Distances_ly2au
AstronomyLibs_Distances_au2ly

Enter a float value in any of the input fields, and it will be converted to the corresponding values of the other units.

Kilometers	Miles	Astronomical Units	Light Years	Parsecs

Uses the following functions:

AstronomyLibs_Distances_distanceBetween
AstronomyLibs_Location
AstronomyLibs_Location_Current

Calculates the distance between Location A and Location B based on their geographical coordinates. Values can be entered as either float or text (as supported by Coordinates::float2text).

Uses the following function:

AstronomyLibs_Distances_calcDistanceAB

This calculates distance between point A and point B providing distance to both points A and B and the angle separating them (gamma). Output distance unit is identical to input distance units. Calculation method used is the law of cosines as described at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_cosines#Applications
