Returns the minimum geodesic distance between two geography objects in meters. Uses S2 geometry-to-geometry distance (S2ClosestEdgeQuery), which computes the true minimum distance between any two points on the geometries — not centroid-to-centroid.
Signatures
ST_Distance (A: Geography, B: Geography)
Parameters
Return type
The minimum geodesic distance between A and B, in meters.
Example
SELECT ST_Distance(
ST_GeogFromWKT('POINT (0 0)'),
ST_GeogFromWKT('POINT (1 1)')
);
