Roll Any Point on the Sphere to Any Desired Latitude-Longitude Coordinates with One Straight-Line Roll
Pick a point on a sphere (in green). This point has certain latitude-longitude coordinates. In one straight-line roll, we can move this point to any desired latitude-longitude coordinates (in red). This Demonstration shows the shortest such roll.
