Longitudes and Latitudes

Hi There,

I'm playing with longitudes and latitudes and wondering if you maths folk know of a standard formula that would give you the distance between one long and lat and another long and lat, as the crow flies?

Thanks

Do you mean, will the shape of the earth's curvature need to be taken into account?
