How many statute miles are in one degree?

One degree of latitude is approximately equal to 69 statute miles. This is based on the Earth's circumference, where one degree represents 1/360th of the total distance around the Earth. However, the distance represented by one degree of longitude varies depending on the latitude, ranging from about 69 miles at the equator to 0 miles at the poles.

How is a drgree of longitude or latitude further subdivided?

Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. While the distance represented by a degree of longitude can vary with the latitude, each degree of latitude (north and south) is equal to 60 nautical miles, so one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile. (About 1.15 statute miles) One nautical mile is equal to 2026 yards, so one second of latitude is equal to 33.8 feet.


How many miles in a degree of latitude at 46.5 latitude and 80.9 longitude?
