It is simply called the distance between the two points - simple as that. How that distance is measured will depend on the nature of the surface on which the two points are located as well as on the metric for measuring distance that is defined on that space.
The common metric in Euclidean space is the Pythagorean distance while on the surface of a sphere (like the Earth, for example), distances are measured along the great arc.

What is the distance between 2 consecutive points called in science?
In science there are usually infinitely many points between any two points so that there is no such thing as a consecutive point!
What is a formula for the distance between two concentric circles between any point on either circle?
Distance=Sqrt[(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2]
What is the distance between these two point (-2-6) and (-22)?
If you mean points of (-2, -6) and (-2, 2) then it works out as 8
How long is The NBA 2 point line?
100 million meter is the distance between 2 points shot i don't think there exists a 2 point line, actuall, there is a 3 point line and any shoot performed within that line is taken as 2 point shot.
What is the distance from one point to the other?
In a plane with the normal (x,y) coordinates, the usual distance formula is that the distance between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is √((x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2). This can be extended to n dimensions by letting the distance between (a1,a2,a3,...,an) and (b1,b2,b3,...,bn) be √((a1-b1)2+(a2-b2)2+...+(an-bn)2)
