Q: 

Correlation between RTT and distance

Can anyone explain to me the correlation between RTT and distance as well as how to calculate it please?

A: 

You mean physical distance in miles? There's no such correlation, not even an approximate one. RTT depends on the number of switchers and routers which are responsible for 99.99% of RTT, and their load. Otherwise signal travels at the light speed.
