How much time does it takes if you travel 1 degree latitude?
That would depend on the speed that you are travelling. The distance between 1 degree of latitude is approximately 111km (69 miles).
What is the distance of 40 degree latitude south?
40° of latitude on the Earth's surface is a distance of about 2,762 miles.
What is one degree of latitude equal to in nautical miles?
The lines of longitude radiate out from the poles. At their point of origin, i.e. at 90o latitude, there is no distance at all between the lines! However, at latitude 89o, very near the poles, the distance between the respective 'one degree' lines of longitude is about one nautical mile. At latitude 48.37o the distance along the line of latitude is 40 nautical miles And a 1o longitude difference along the equator (0o latitude) represents a distance of about 60.1 nautical miles.

What is the distance in km between an island 179 degrees and 180 degrees west longitude at 60 degrees north latitude?
The distance between one degree of longitude at 60 degrees north latitude is approximately 55.6 km.
How long is 1 degree for lines of latitude and longitude?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, and the WGS84 system that we use for degree confluences includes a mathematical model (GRS80) of the Earth as an ellipsoid. Using established GRS80 constants, and the Vincenty Algorithm (PDF document), the distance between degrees of latitude (lines that run east-west) varies from 110.57km (68.71mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 111.69km (69.40mi) between 89 degrees latitude and the poles. For the purposes of the project, we don't take these variations in the distance between degrees of latitude into account when categorizing degree confluences. Using the same calculation methods, the distance between degrees of longitude (lines that run north-south) varies between 111.32km (69.17mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 1.95km (1.21mi) at 89 degrees latitude, one degree from the north or south pole. Because the lines of longitude meet at the poles, the distance between degrees of longitude at the poles is zero.
Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?
The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.
What is distance per degree longitude at 10 degrees latitude in kilometers?
about 109.4
How many minutes of map distance are there in a degree of latitude?

What is distance in degree north and south of the equator?
That's latitude. The distance to the north or south pole from the equator is 90° Therefore, the distance from the north pole to the south pole, in degrees, is 180°. The distance in degrees to a certain location from the equator is referred to as the latitude. For instance, I am at about 49° latitude, or at a 49° angle from the equator if you were positioned at the center of the earth. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (111 km).
How many meter in a toposheet make one degree?
That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.
What degree is Washington D.C. on?
38o53'32" N latitude and 77o1'27" W longitude are the coordinates of the approximate center of Washington, D.C.
How length of 1 degree of latitude is less at equator and greater at poles?
1 degree of latitude represents the same distance everywhere . . . about 111 km. 1 degree of longitude represents a distance of (111 km) x (cosine of the latitude). That's about 111 km along the equator and dwindles to zero at the poles, because all of the longitudes converge (meet, come together) at the poles.
