Hello! Here is your answer.
Answer:
The shortest distance between two points on a globe is not always a straight line—it’s an arc called a great circle. This complicates long-distance navigation. Rather than stay on a constant heading, pilots must regularly adjust their course to stay on the arc and for this, great circle routes are created. Great circle routes are the lines of a great circle. To make some types of transport faster, great circles step in to help in the form of great circle routes. Thus, great circle routes are routes that make certain ways of transport faster and efficient.
I hope my answer has helped you.
