A distance comparison principle for evolving curves

A lower bound for the ratio of extrinsic and intrinsic distance is proved for embedded curves evolving by curve shortening flow in the plane and on surfaces. The estimates yield a new approach to longtime existence results and can be applied to related evolution equations.
