The time difference per degree is 4 minutes. (1440 minutes divided by 360).
There are 15 degrees of longitude for each hourly time zone, yielding 24 zones times 15 degrees, which also equals 360.

How many longitude lines are there between each meridian line?
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
What is each degree of latitude or longitude further divide into?

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 is a degree if longitude or latitude further subdivided?
Longitude and latitude are given in degrees, each degree is 60 minutes, each minute is 60 seconds.A coordinate might be written similar to 65° 32' 15" (degree °, minute ', second ").
What is the distance between two longitudes at the equator?
At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,075.16 km ( 24,901.55 miles). Divide that into 360 equal pieces to get the distance for each one degree of longitude. A degree of longitude at the equator is equal to 111.32 km.

How is time is associtated with each degree of longitude?
For each degree of longitude to the east, the local mean time is four minutes ahead.
How many degrees difference is t there between each line of longitude and latitude on the globe?

What is the degree of difference between each line of latitude and longitude?
Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees. Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.

When you are at one of the poles on earth how many miles is each degree?
-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
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 is each degree of latitude or longitude further subdivided into?
Minutes (1/60 of a degree) and seconds (1/60 of a minutes). After that you use decimals of a second.
What is the difference between lateral and longitudinal directions?
Lateral direction runs from east to west and longitudinal direction runs from north to south. Latitude lines are parallel and equidistant from each other. The distance between latitude lines is approximately 69 miles. The equator is at 0 degree latitude. Longitude lines are known as meridians and converge at the poles. Longitude lines are widest at the equator.
