Type: article
Abstract: This paper discusses about arc length of circles that connected any two points on a sphere. On a sphere, there are infinitely many circles that connect any two points. Using a monotone sequence of functions, we can show that the shortest arc length of circle that connect any two points on sphere is the circle with its center at the origin.
