Based on the longitudes of Quito and Singapore, the shortest distance between the two areas is 19,702.5 km .
<h3>How far is Quito from Singapore?</h3>
Because both cities are close to the equator, you use the longitudinal difference method to find the shortest distance.
First find the difference in longitudes:
= Singapore - Quito
= 104 - (-78.5) because Quito is west
= 104 + 78.5
= 182.5°
Then subtract this from 360°:
= 360 - 182.5
= 177.5°
Every 1° longitude along the Equator is 111 km so the shortest distance is:
= 177.5 x 111
= 19,702.5 km
