Prove that spherical distance on $\bar{\mathbb{C}}$ is a metric which induces the standard topology on $\bar{\mathbb{C}}$.
Just starting complex analysis and having a bit of trouble understanding the question. Part of the exercise was to derive a formula for the spherical distance on $\bar{\mathbb{C}}$. With $\bar{\mathbb{C}}$ being the Riemann sphere. But the second part is rather confusing to me. Any help to guide me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
edit
Metric defined as $p(z_{1}, z_{2}) = \frac{2|z_2-z_1|}{\sqrt[]{1+|z_2|^2}\sqrt[]{1+|z_1|^2}}$
Extend to $\infty$
$p(z, \infty) = \frac{2}{\sqrt[]{1+|z^|2}}$
I hope that is not too small, if so how do I make it larger?
