# Distance (Plane)
Menu Path : **Operator > Math > Geometry > Distance (Plane)**
The **Distance (Plane)** Operator Operator takes a plane and a position and calculates:
- The closest point on the plane to the position.
- The distance between the closest point and the position.
## Operator properties
| **Input** | **Type** | **Description** |
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Plane** | Plane | The Plane this Operator evaluates. The point this Operator returns (**closestPosition**) is the closest point on this Plane to **Position**. |
| **Position** | Position | The Plane this Operator evaluates. The point this Operator returns (**closestPosition**) is the closest point to **Plane** from this position. |
| **Output** | **Type** | **Description** |
| ------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **closestPosition** | Position | The position of the closest point on **Plane** to **Position**. |
| **distance** | float | The distance from **Position** to **closestPosition**. If **Position** is above **Plane**, this value is positive. If **Position** is below **Plane**, this value is negative. |
