What is the area of the square of one degree latitude and longitude?
That depends on where you are on Earth, specifically, your latitude. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north and south poles, so any two of them get closer and closer together as you get closer to either pole. One degree of longitude is about 69 miles along the equator, but only 48.8 miles at latitude 45°, 17.9 miles at latitude 75°, and about 6 miles at latitude 85°. So as you get farther from the equator, your 1° x 1° square is getting progressively skinnier. Here's the area of your square at a few different latitudes. Each square is 1 latitude degree tall and 1 longitude degree wide, and the indicated latitude goes straight across its middle: On the equator . . . . . 4,760 square miles 30° . . . . . 4,150 square miles 45° . . . . . 3,375 square miles 60° . . . . . 2,400 square miles 85° . . . . . 415 square miles
