7. Taylor expanded in phi1 around 0 16.8%

   \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(\phi_1 \cdot \phi_2 + \color{blue}{\cos \left(\lambda_2 - \lambda_1\right)}\right) \cdot R \]

8. Final simplification 16.8%

   \[\leadsto R \cdot \cos^{-1} \left(\cos \left(\lambda_2 - \lambda_1\right) + \phi_1 \cdot \phi_2\right) \]
