A Great Circle is a circle which is drawn on the Earth’s surface in such a way that the center point of the Earth and the Great Circle is the same. The radius of the Great Circle is equal to the radius of the Earth. All the Great Circles divide the Earth into two equal halves. All meridians of longitude are Great Circles.
The Small Circles are the circles whose center point is not the center of the Earth. The radii of the Small Circles are smaller than the radius of the Earth. All latitudes except the Equator are Small Circles.
