Nonstop flight route between Mazari Sharif, Afghanistan and Santa Rosa, El Oro, Ecuador:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Mazar-e Sharif International Airpوort (MZR), Mazari Sharif, Afghanistan and Santa Rosa International Airport (ETR), Santa Rosa, El Oro, Ecuador would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,335 miles (or 15,023 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. 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. 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 of the large distance between Mazar-e Sharif International Airpوort and Santa Rosa International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Mazar-e Sharif International Airpوort and Santa Rosa International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!
