Why The distance between the longitudes reduce from equator towards pole?

The distance between longitudes decreases from the equator toward the poles due to the Earth's spherical shape. At the equator, the circles of latitude are widest, allowing longitudes to be spaced further apart. As you move towards the poles, these circles of latitude become smaller, causing the longitudes to converge. Consequently, the angular distance represented by each degree of longitude diminishes as one approaches the poles.
