matching locations on distance

how i can match all lat and long of one locaton to other depending on distance of 10 kms (one location of one data frame can match all location of other data frame if it lies within 10kms) here is reprex but it can find the nearest only on euclidian distance ,how i can do it please help

library(data.table)


df<-structure(list(ID=c(1:5), lat = c(runif(5,33.45,33.75))
                   , lon = c(runif(5,72.83,73.17)))
              , col.Names = c("ID","lat", "lon"), row.names = c(NA, -10L), class = c("data.table","data.frame"))
df
