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.

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.

Smallest unit of latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles. There is no smallest unit. If you move one inch north of where you are right now, you've changed your latitude about 0.00000023 degree, or about 0.000004 milliradian.
How many miles in a degree of latitude at 46.5 latitude and 80.9 longitude?
1 degree of latitude is about 111 km or about 69 miles. Anywhere.
What degree line does equator run?
The equator represents the zero degree line of latitude.
What degree of latitude is listed the location and degree always listed in?

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.
When listing the location of a place where degree of latitude is always listed?
its always listed first!
When listed the location of a place the degree of latitude is always listed?
It's always listed first!:)
What do minutes stands for in latitude?
Minutes (and seconds) are finer subdivisions of degrees. There are 60 minutes in a degree, so a minute represents 1/60th of a degree.

How wide is one degree of latitude?
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.
How many miles is in 1 degree?
Degrees of longitude are uniform in length. 1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude) however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
