# Functions for working with geographical coordinates
## greatCircleDistance
Calculate the distance between two points on the Earth's surface using [the great-circle formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance).
```
greatCircleDistance(lon1Deg, lat1Deg, lon2Deg, lat2Deg)
```
**Input parameters**
- `lon1Deg` — Longitude of the first point in degrees. Range: `[-180°, 180°]`.
- `lat1Deg` — Latitude of the first point in degrees. Range: `[-90°, 90°]`.
- `lon2Deg` — Longitude of the second point in degrees. Range: `[-180°, 180°]`.
- `lat2Deg` — Latitude of the second point in degrees. Range: `[-90°, 90°]`.
Positive values correspond to North latitude and East longitude, and negative values correspond to South latitude and West longitude.
**Returned value**
The distance between two points on the Earth's surface, in meters.
Generates an exception when the input parameter values fall outside of the range.
**Example**
``` sql
SELECT greatCircleDistance(55.755831, 37.617673, -55.755831, -37.617673)
```
```

```
## pointInEllipses
Checks whether the point belongs to at least one of the ellipses.
```
pointInEllipses(x, y, x₀, y₀, a₀, b₀,...,xₙ, yₙ, aₙ, bₙ)
```
**Input parameters**
- `x, y` — Coordinates of a point on the plane.
- `xᵢ, yᵢ` — Coordinates of the center of the `i`-th ellipsis.
- `aᵢ, bᵢ` — Axes of the `i`-th ellipsis in meters.
The input parameters must be `2+4⋅n`, where `n` is the number of ellipses.
**Returned values**
`1` if the point is inside at least one of the ellipses; `0`if it is not.
**Example**
``` sql
SELECT pointInEllipses(55.755831, 37.617673, 55.755831, 37.617673, 1.0, 2.0)
```

```
## pointInPolygon
Checks whether the point belongs to the polygon on the plane.
```
pointInPolygon((x, y), [(a, b), (c, d) ...], ...)
```
**Input values**
- `(x, y)` — Coordinates of a point on the plane. Data type — [Tuple](../../data_types/tuple.md) — A tuple of two numbers.

- `[(a, b), (c, d) ...]` — Polygon vertices. Data type — [Array](../../data_types/array.md). Each vertex is represented by a pair of coordinates `(a, b)`. Vertices should be specified in a clockwise or counterclockwise order. The minimum number of vertices is 3. The polygon must be constant.
- The function also supports polygons with holes (cut out sections). In this case, add polygons that define the cut out sections using additional arguments of the function. The function does not support non-simply-connected polygons.
**Returned values**
`1` if the point is inside the polygon, `0` if it is not.
If the point is on the polygon boundary, the function may return either 0 or 1.
**Example**
``` sql
SELECT pointInPolygon((3., 3.), [(6, 0), (8, 4), (5, 8), (0, 2)]) AS res
```
