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.
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.
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).
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.
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%
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.
one degree, about 111 kilometers at 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.
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.
Vancouver, Canada, is approximately 49.3 degrees north of the equator. Since each degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles, Vancouver is about 3,400 miles (or approximately 5,500 kilometers) north of the equator.
Acapulco, located in Mexico, is approximately 16.8 degrees north of the Equator. Given that each degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles (111 kilometers), the distance from Acapulco to the Equator is about 1,160 miles (1,860 kilometers).
12.5 degrees north of the equator is approximately 1388 kilometers.
The circumference of Mercury at equator is 15 329 km.
One degree of latitude is approximately equal to 69 miles (111 kilometers). This distance remains consistent regardless of where you are on Earth, as latitude lines run parallel to the Equator. In contrast, the distance represented by one degree of longitude varies depending on the latitude, being widest at the Equator and narrowing towards the poles.

90° of latitude.
The Bronx is located at approximately 40.85 degrees North latitude. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, so the distance from the Bronx to the equator is about 40.85 degrees of latitude. Since each degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles (111 kilometers), the Bronx is approximately 2,820 miles (4,540 kilometers) away from the equator.
3,330! easy i think
