Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?
The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.
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.

What is distance measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian is defined as zero degrees of longitude. The distance in miles between degrees of longitude depends on the latitude; one degree of longitude equals the cosine of the latitude * 60 nautical miles. Note: If you're using Excel or some other spreadsheet program, be sure to convert degrees into radians before calculating the cosine of the latitude.
How do you write calculating average speed in words?
Distance equals speed divided by time. Speed equals distance divided by time. Time equals distance divided by speed
How many nautical miles equals a degree of latitude?
69 miles
1 distance equals how many meters?
what is the distance measurement?
What is the formula for finding time if you have speed and distance values?
Speed equals distance divided by time. By rearranging that formula, we get time equals distance divided by speed.
Is distance divided by time equals equals to velocity?
Yes, V (velocity) = d (distance) divided by t (time).
What does O equals D L at the E?
0 Degrees Latitude at the Equator
Distance equals rt solve for t?
T = Distance/R
