Geodesic
In geometry, a geodesic () is a curve representing in some sense the locally shortest path (arc) between two points in a surface, or more generally in a Riemannian manifold. The term also has meaning in any differentiable manifold with a connection. It is a generalization of the notion of a "straight line".
