英语词汇“geodesic curve”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

3. Geometry. Designating a line on the surface of a sphere or other surface which traces the shortest possible distance on the surface between two given points; (more generally) a line on a surface that locally minimizes the distance between its end-points. Also: of or relating to such lines. Frequently in geodesic curve, geodesic line. Cf. geodetic adj. 2.Originally with reference to the surface of the earth. A geodesic line on a sphere is a great circle. In relativity theory a geodesic is the path in space-time that a particle follows when it is not acted on by an external force.
