That's going to depend on how far you are north or south of the equator.
The distance between any two meridians of longitude is maximum along the
equator, and it shrinks to zero at the poles, where all meridians of longitude
converge (come together).
One degree of longitude represents about 111.2 km (69.1 miles) on the equator.
Anywhere else on earth, it would be 111.2 multiplied by the cosine of your latitude.

equator to zero at the poles, where all meridians of longitude converge.
One degree of longitude represents about 69.1 miles on the equator. Anywhere else
on earth in general, the distance is 69.1 miles multiplied by the cosine of your latitude.

∙ 9y agoOne degree of longitude is approximately 69 miles (111 km) length at the equator.The distance between lines of longitude, however, gets smaller as you move towards the poles (North or South) since all the lines converge there.

∙ 14y agoat the equator= 111KM
each degree is also considered 60 minutes
dont ask me why

∙ 10y agoAbout 111.1 km at the equator, shrinking steadily to zero at the poles.
At any latitude, 1 degree of longitude is roughly (111.1 km) x (cosine of the latitude).

When you are at one of the poles on earth how many miles is each degree?
-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
How many miles in a degree of latitude at 46.5 latitude and 80.9 longitude?
1 degree of latitude is about 111 km or about 69 miles. Anywhere.
How many statue miles are there on a degree of longitude at the poles?
Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.
How many miles does 1 degree of longitude equal at 23 degrees north latitude?
63.55
How many feet are in one degree of latitude at 43 degrees longitude?
Every degree of latitude is the same size, regardless of its longitude. That size is about 69.11 miles, or 364,900 feet.

How many miles are in degree?
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
How many miles are in one degree?
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
One degree longitude is equal to how many miles?
60 60 60
How many miles in a degree of latitude at 46.5 latitude and 80.9 longitude?
1 degree of latitude is about 111 km or about 69 miles. Anywhere.
How many miles does 1 degree of latidude equal at 64 degrees west longitude?
Latitudes are evenly spaced regardless of the longitude. One degree of latitude corresponds to 60 nautical miles on the surface, or about 69.1 regular miles.
How many miles is in 1 degree?
Degrees of longitude are uniform in length. 1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude) however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
How many statue miles are there on a degree of longitude at the poles?
Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.
How many miles does 1 degree of longitude equal at 23 degrees north latitude?
63.55
How many miles does 1 degree of longitude equal at 37 degrees north latitude?
At 37 degrees north latitude, 1 degree of longitude is approximately 53 miles. The distance varies depending on the latitude due to the Earth's curvature.
How many feet are in one degree of latitude at 43 degrees longitude?
Every degree of latitude is the same size, regardless of its longitude. That size is about 69.11 miles, or 364,900 feet.
How many miles are in 32 degrees of longitude?
At the equator (25000 miles) there's about 69.4 miles per degree, so about 2222.2 miles. At the poles there would be no miles. In nautical miles it's 60 miles per degree (of latitude, which stays the same).
