1 degree change of longitude corresponds to about 69 miles along the equator.

All of the meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles, so at

either of those locations, any change of longitude corresponds to zero distance.

Does each degree of longitude correspond to 111 kilometers at the North Pole?

No. All of the meridians of longitude converge at the poles. So the north pole is located at every longitude,and the distance between any two longitudes at the north pole is zero.The largest distance covered by a degree of longitude occurs along the equator, where the meridiansare spread farthest apart. That's where one degree of longitude traverses about 111.22 km. (rounded)


How does the linear distance separating each 1 degree of longitude change as you move from the equator toward the poles?

The linear distance across each degree of longitude at the equator is about 60 miles. That's as far apart as those lines of longitude get. As the lines of longitude run north (or south) to the north (south) pole, they converge until they all meet at the pole. That translates like this: the linear distance separating each degree of longitude is a maximum at the equator, and decreases to zero at the pole.


What place is longitude 1105 degrees?

Sorry your question cannot be answered for 2 reasons. Longitude is not a place it is a line that goes from the north pole to the south pole. There is no 1105 degree longitude. Longitude would only go to 180 degrees east or west.

How many degree to circle the globe?

A full circle around the globe is 360 degrees. This measurement is based on the Earth's latitude and longitude system, where the equator is at 0 degrees latitude and the poles are at 90 degrees north and south. Each degree of longitude represents a segment of the Earth's circumference, with 360 lines of longitude running from pole to pole.
