The maths and geometry are quite involved.

Imagine the earth as a sphere and a circle imposed on the surface with the earths centre as its centre (known as a giant circle)

Now imagine you can manipulate the circle from its centre until it passes through the two points you need to measure between.

Then calculate the angle between the points and the centre

Then calculate the length of the arc

(the giant circle has a radius of 6371000 metres)

measuring distance on earth then is complex, though there will probably

be some kind of calculator on the web.
