# Geography

## Distance between places

Use `distance between Sydney and London` to calculate the distance between two places. This measures distance along the Earth’s surface, rather than a driving or flight route.

## Coordinates

Use `location of Paris` to get its latitude and longitude. You can also request either component separately, such as `latitude of Sydney` or `longitude of SFO`.

## Degrees, minutes, and seconds

Convert decimal degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS):

`156.742° as DMS` → **156° 44′ 31.2″**
