One degree of latitude is approximately equal to 69 statute miles. This is based on the Earth's circumference, where one degree represents 1/360th of the total distance around the Earth. However, the distance represented by one degree of longitude varies depending on the latitude, ranging from about 69 miles at the equator to 0 miles at the poles.
