... without ever doubling back, then you have traveled about 1,111 km (690.3 miles).
The number is the same for westward travel.

How far offshore is 100 miles in longitude?
Given a starting point at 0 degrees longitude on the equator, a distance of 100 miles east or west is approximately 1.4 degrees.However, the lines of longitude are closer together towards the poles and furthest from each other along the equator. So, if you start from Greenland with a latitude of 75 degrees and travel 100 miles east or west then you travel 5.7 degrees in longitude. As you approach the poles, all lines of longitude converge into a single point so traveling from the equator to the poles increases the number of degrees in a given distance traveled on the globe.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Calculate how many degrees of longitude you would travel if you traveled around earths equator twice?
All the way around anything is a trip of 360 degrees. If you do it again, your total doubles to 720 degrees.
If you travel 10 degrees of longitude along the equator the distance traveled will be very diffrent from the distance traveled through 10 degrees of longitude at 60 degrees n latitude why?
Yes, because lines of longitude converge at the poles. The distance between longitude lines will always decrease the further you are from the equator. Lines of latitude remain equidistant.This is why no map is always accurate. Think of peeling an orange and try laying it flat on the table.

What happens if you travel east of Greenwich England?
You will immediately be in the Eastern Hemisphere because 0 degrees longitude runs north/south through Greenwich. You will also be in the Northern Hemisphere because you are north of the Equator.

How many kilometers in 23 degrees?
It is like asking how many apple in 1kilogram rice !Degrees of Longitude or Latitude?longitude is about 111 km per degree at the equator and roughly zero at the poles latitude is always very close to 111 kmSo at the equator moving east or west north or south 23 degrees will travel very close to 2560 km
What is that mean 60 degrees north and 50 degrees east?
The earth is almost spherical. So if you travel north from the equator you are on a circular path (a line of longitude), and distance around a circle is measured in degrees. The north pole is at 90 degrees north (so 60 degrees is two thirse the way). Similarly if you travel east, you are going around a circle parallel to the equator. Zero degrees is traditionally at Greenwich in London, England. So 50 degrees east is 50 degrees around this circle (of latitude). All lines of longitude meet at the poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the equator (which is zero latitude).
Are there more than 180 degrees longitude?
If you travel all the way around the earth without touching the north or south pole, then you travel through 360 degrees of longitude. They're labeled (zero -- 180) east and (zero -- 180) west.
How many degrees of longitude would you pass through to fly from Helena to Ulaanbaatar?
Assuming that the question is referring to Helena, Montana . . . If you travel the short way from Helena to Ulaanbaatar, you cover 141 degrees of longitude.
If you travel around the world at the equator how many miles will you have to travel?
If you go all the way around exactly once, and return exactly to your starting point, you've covered 360 degrees of longitude.
If you were to travel through an angle of 8 degrees across the surface of the earth through how many kilometers would you have traveled?
It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km. At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km. Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.
