The equatorial circumference is approximately 40,000km or 21.600NM
The maximum difference between gecentric and geodetic latitude occurs at about :-
45° North and South
Geodetic latitude, also referred to as geografic Latitude, is determined by the angle between the normal of the oblatespheroid and the plane of the equator, whereas geocentric latitude is determined around the center.
Unless otherwies specified latitude is geodectic latitude.
