I can see 7.8213° of longitude.
A time belt, or zone, is 15 degrees of longitude wide.
-- The northern and southern hemispheres each have 90 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude. -- The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of latitude and 180 degrees of longitude.
Illinois and Iran are both several degrees of longitude wide. So, depending on the starting and ending points you select, the space between them may have several different values. -- The longitude at the center of Springfield, IL is about 88.64° West. -- The longitude at the center of Tehran, Iran is about 51.41° East. -- The difference is about 140.1° degrees of longitude.
-- "85 degrees west longitude" doesn't traverse any territory in Ohio, but is about 9.6 miles outside of the state's western border. -- The strip of Ohio between "84 degrees west longitude" and the western border is about 176 miles long and almost 42 miles wide, and encompasses a not insignificant number of cities, towns, and villages. A few of the larger ones are: -- Defiance -- Van Wert -- Lima -- Wapakoneta -- Greenville -- Middletown -- Dayton -- Cincinnati
The system of latitude/longitude only applies to locations on Earth's surface. Objects in the sky can be seen over a wide range of latitudes, and they rotate over every longitude in the course of a day. Taurus is defined as a region of the celestial map that covers the range of declination between roughly -2 degrees and +31 degrees. So at least a part of it is visible from any latitude on Earth, and ALL of it is visible from anywhere north of about 60 degrees South latitude ... every continent except Antarctica.
As wide as my ass:)
Iraq is about 9.8 degrees of longitude wide, and North Carolina about 8.8 degrees wide. So, depending on which points you pick on each end, the longitude between them could swing over a range of about 18.6 degrees. -- Mosul is 121.1 degrees east of Wilmington. -- Basra is 130.2 degrees east of Greenville.

The difference of longitude from West to East is cca. 9 def. 30'.

Alaska occupies a wide range of longitude, including 150 degrees west. It's the only state crossed by that particular meridian.

One. Longitude is derived from the Prime Meridian. Values are measured in relation to this Prime Meridian as East or West longitude. If you withdraw this constant, Prime, then values are given in Positive, Zero, and Negative. The distance between degree's of longitude are also not exact from top to bottom. At the equator they are approx. 69 miles wide, as you go toward the poles they become smaller, with an example being at a Latitude of 45 degree's a degree of longitude is approx: 49miles wide. These can also be more specific in Minutes and Seconds. A good reference to obtain a better understanding would be: http://nationalatlas.gov/articles/mapping/a_latlong.html

latitude in Greek means "wide" while longitude means "long"
