It would be call the ARC.
A segment between two points on a circle is
The two points and the centre of the earth define a plane, and the intersection of this plane with the surface of the earth is a circle - the "Great Circle". The shortest distance between the two points is the smaller of the two arcs on this circle.
well its true that every chord contains two points of the circumference of a circle 'cos a chord is the straight line between two points on the circumference
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest.
A part of a circle between two points on a circle is called is called an arc.
It would be call the ARC.
An arc is part of the circumference of a circle
An arc is part of the circumference of a circle
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord
A segment between two points on a circle is
Only round the perimeter of the circle (not across its interior) because a segment is a part of a line or curve between two points.
That is called an arc.
The two points and the centre of the earth define a plane, and the intersection of this plane with the surface of the earth is a circle - the "Great Circle". The shortest distance between the two points is the smaller of the two arcs on this circle.
