✨ GIS::Distance::Constants ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's about GIS::Distance::Constants — literally just the constants that the formula classes use. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic for that. 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

GIS::Distance::Constants — constants used by formula classes. periodt.

---

🎀 CONSTANTS 🎀

⭐ $KILOMETER_RHO

the number of kilometers around the equator of the earth. yes, THE earth. our girl. 🌍

6371.64

🦋 $DEG_RATIO

the number of units in a single decimal degree (lat or lon) at the equator. so like, one degree, but make it units.

0.0174532925199433

and the way this value came to be?? not me being obsessed with the math:

$gis = GIS::Distance->new( 'Haversine' );
$DEG_RATIO = $gis->distance( 10,0 => 11,0 )->km() / $KILOMETER_RHO;

it's derived, bestie. it's derived. 🧚
