The distance of two points of the circle is called as perimeter. Since these two points are located on the same circle, their peripheral distance is measured.
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.

Infinity Incorrect ! The longest distance between those two points is a straight line from one point , running all the way around the world to the second point. Thus the shortest distance together with the longest distance is a full circle around the world with both points on the circle.
Measure the distance between the two end points!
