All of the meridians of longitude converge (come together)at the same point,
at the north and south poles. So the distance between them depends on
how far you are from the equator.
On the equator:
180° of longitude is 1/2 the circumference of the earth, roughly 12,450 miles.
At the poles:
Any range of longitude is zero distance.
In between the equator and the poles, the number of miles straight east-west
between any two longitudes will be:
(number of degrees between them) x (cosine of the latitude) x (691/6)
