-Is your class studying Chile and students want to know how far away Santiago is? Have you ever wondered how far it is to Katmandu? Check out this easy-to-use tool that calculates the distance between any two places in the world. Even smaller U.S. towns are listed, so most classrooms should be able to use this tool to measure the distance from their locale to anywhere else. Because the distance calculated is the shortest possible (as the crow flies), however, you also might want students to determine the distance one must actually travel to get from one place to another.
