At the equator, one minute of longitude equals 1 nautical mile. From 10W to 40E would be 50 degrees, times 60 minutes per degree, so 3000 NM or 3452 statute miles.

Its latitude is going to be 60 degrees north, and its longitude will be 24 degrees east.
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Longitude lines are the lines going vertically across the earth, east and west of the Prime Meridian. Latitude lines are the lines going horizontally across the earth, north and south of the equator.
It's longitude Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance. HOPE THIS HELPED!
I'm going to assume that you're asking about 'Oklahoma'. -- The state occupies all latitudes between 33.62° and 36.5° North. -- It also occupies all longitudes between 94.43° and 103° West. -- The center of Boise City is located at about 36.73° north latitude 102.51° west longitude. -- The center of Oklahoma City is located at about 35.47° north latitude 97.52° west longitude. -- The center of Broken Bow is located at about 34.03° north latitude 94.74° west longitude. -- The center of the State Capitol dome on NE 23rd St in Oklahoma City is located at 35.4922° north latitude 97.5032° west longitude. -- My first two children were born in the hospital located at 35.5295° north latitude 97.5766° west longitude, and came home to 35.5185° north latitude 97.5245° west longitude.

Latitude
Going from 36 degrees north to 36 degrees north isn't going north or south, it's standing still, because you don't head north and you don't head south when you're just standing there.

The latitude of Paris, France is approximately 48.8 degrees north.
you need to know so that you know where a place is or where your going
you would have to travel northwest.
Since the earth is a sphere (ball), there are always at least two different directions you can take to get from anywhere to anywhere. But the shortest way to get from 40N 100W to 40N 90W is along the short path of the great circle. You head out in the direction slightly north of east, on a bearing of roughly 86.4 degrees. In that direction, it's a trip of 529.14 miles. That's the route that a rubber band would take on a globe if you stretched it tight between those two points.
