MongoDB print distance between two points

Question

When I am firing this query on MongoDB, I am getting all the places in the proximity of 500 miles to the specified co-ordinates. But I want to know the exact distance betwee

Answer 1

maxDistance -> Optional. The maximum distance from the center point that the documents can be. MongoDB limits the results to those documents that fall within the specified distance from the center point.

Specify the distance in meters if the specified point is GeoJSON and in radians if the specified point is legacy coordinate pairs.

In the docs it says if you use legacy pairs , eg : near : [long , lat] , then specify the maxDistance in radians. If you user GeoJSON , eg : near : { type : "Point" , coordinates : [long ,lat] }, then specify the maxDistance in meters.
