The issue arises when you want to define a line with a certain angle to the surface in a sphere. The problem here is that there are two ways of looking at this. The first way is to see a constant angle with the point it starts at. This works fine, except that for large distances it will burst through the surface of the planet out into space. This can be see in the left figure below. The other option is to look at a constant angle as an angle which remains constant with the surface above. This results in a logarithmic spiral as seen in the right figure below. | ||
When defining a line with a certain angle to the surface in a sphere, you can look at this in one of two ways. The first option is to define a constant angle at its starting point. This works mostly fine except for large distances where it will burst through the surface of the planet out into space. This can be see in the left figure below. The other option is to define a constatnt angle with respect to the surface above. This results in a logarithmic spiral as seen in the right figure below. |
