How Far From Confederation Heights to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers & Almanacs that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Confederation Heights to various places of note, such as Parliament Hill.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<2> beginning in Confederation Heights and extending to:

  • The National Capital at Parliament Hill (Ottawa, ON) is just to the north (N).
  • The shortest distance<3> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,572 miles [8,967.3 km]<2> and it lies to the northeast (NE).<4>
  • The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 6,300 miles [10,138.9 km] and it lies to the east northeast (ENE).<5>
  • The distance to Saint Peter's Basilica (The Vatican) is 4,178 miles [6,723.8 km] and it lies to the east northeast (ENE).<6>

Footnotes ...

<1>If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.
<2>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Confederation Heights) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Confederation Heights. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.3767, Longitude: -75.6869    
<3>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Confederation Heights to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 306.427 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 302.825 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 301.28 degrees.
