Abstract: In this paper, we use the distance comparison principle, first been developed by G. Huisken, to study the spatial curve shortening flow. We have got the result that if the initial curve is the helix, then the local minimum of the ratio of the extrinsic and intrinsic distance is non-decreasing. And we have proved a Grayson type theorem for a variety of spatial curves.
