In this work, the great-circle distance formula is derived using hcr's inverse cosine formula. An analytic and the most generalized formula has been derived to accurately compute the minimum distance or great circle distance between any two arbitrary points on a sphere of finite radius which is equally applicable in the geometry of sphere. This formula is extremely useful to calculate the geographical distance between any two points on the globe for the given latitudes & longitudes. This formula is the most power tool which is applicable for all the distances on the tiny sphere as well as the large sphere like giant planet assuming them the perfect spheres.
