About this distance
How is the distance from Paris to Tokyo calculated?
The distance shown (9,713 km) is the great-circle distance — the shortest path on the surface of a sphere between Paris (48.8534°, 2.3488°) and Tokyo (35.6895°, 139.6917°). It is computed with the Haversine formula, which is accurate to within about 0.5% of the true geodetic distance (the Earth is slightly flattened, not a perfect sphere).
How long does it take to fly from Paris to Tokyo?
A commercial aircraft cruises at about 900 km/h. At that speed, 9,713 km translates to roughly 10.8 hours of flight time (not including taxiing, take-off, landing, or wind). Actual scheduled flight times are usually 10–20% longer due to routing and air-traffic control.
