Earth's equatorial radius is 6,378 km, so its circumference is 40,074 km (2 x pi x 6378). Dividing its circumference by 360 yields 111.32 km per degree.

How many miles are in one degree?

One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.


How many kilometers are in a degree of longitude?

Lines of longitude are not parallel. They all converge at both the North Pole and the South Pole. Therefore there is no numeric constant to this value. The maximum distance represented by one degree of longitude, measured along a line of latitude (that is, parallel to the Equator), would be approximately 40,076 km divided by 360, or 111.3 km (69.2 mi).


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.


How many inches around is the equator?

The diameter of the Earth through the Poles is only slightly less than the diameter across the Equator Polar diameter = 12713.6 km Equatorial diameter = 12,756.2 km Which is a difference of just 42.6 km - or less than 0.34%


What is the starting point for numbering parallels on a map?

The numbering of parallels on a map begins at the Equator with zero degrees. Degrees ae counted away from the equator, both to the north and to the south. The north Ppole is 90 degrees north of the Equator and the South Pole is 90 degree south of the Equator.

How many miles is Bali from the equator?

Denpasar in Bali lies 8.65 degrees south of the equator. Each degree of Latitude is around 111 kilometers Therefore Bali is about 960 Kilometers or 596 miles south of the equator.


How many kilometers is 52 degree north of equator?

The distance from the equator to a location at a certain latitude can be calculated using the formula: Distance = radius of the Earth * arccos(sin(latitude of equator) * sin(latitude of the location) + cos(latitude of equator) * cos(latitude of the location) * cos(0)). For a location 52 degrees north of the equator, the approximate distance would be about 5,723 kilometers.
