One banana is 17.78 cm

banana4scale uses a 7 inch banana as its official house banana. That is 0.1778 metres, so every result is just distance divided by banana.

Straight-line distance

The calculator uses latitude and longitude to measure the direct line between two places. Roads, rivers, queues, and questionable shortcuts are ignored.
