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.

Why the project management exam is bad?
Can the exam be bad on its own? Usually exam preparation is what makes it bad. But I do find that an exam that is not a true measure of competence or the real world might be considered bad.
