Because of the large distance between Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport and Rørvik Airport, Ryum, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances.
A direct, nonstop flight between Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport (MFR), Medford, Oregon, United States and Rørvik Airport, Ryum (RVK), Rørvik, Norway would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,625 miles (or 7,443 kilometers).Ī Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere.
