40° of latitude on the Earth's surface is a distance of about 2,762 miles.
Wellington, capital of New Zealand is south of the 40 degree line of latitude. Wellington's latitude is 41 degrees, longitude 174.
The latitude at the center of Wellington is about 41.3° South.
Yes, California lies south of 40 degrees latitude. The northernmost point of California is just above 42 degrees latitude, while the majority of the state extends southward well below 40 degrees. This places all of California within the southern hemisphere relative to the 40-degree latitude line.
Indiana extends from (just south of) 38 degrees north to (just south of) 42 degrees north. The full degree latitude closest to the midpoint is 40 degrees north.
The distance between lines of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) for each degree. Given that the distance between the 20 North and 40 North lines of latitude is 20 degrees, you can calculate the distance by multiplying 20 degrees by 69 miles, resulting in about 1,380 miles (2,220 kilometers).
The width of one degree of latitude depends on the location. At the equator on degree is 68.71 miles. At latitude 40 degrees, one degree is 68.99 miles. At latitude 80 degrees, one degree is 69.38 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.
