What is the time difference between one degree of latitude?
The distance between each degree of latitude is about 111 kilometers (69 miles). To convert this distance to time, you would need to consider the speed of travel. Assuming an average speed of 100 km/h, one degree of latitude would take about 1 hour to travel.
What is the distance between the Arctic Circle and latitude 68 degrees?
An average minute of latitude is a nautical mile. The difference between 68° and 66.56°, the approximate latitude of the Arctic Circle, is 1.44°, which is about 86.4 minutes, which is about 86.4 nautical miles. Multiplying by 1.15 miles per nautical mile gives you about 99.4 miles, which is about 160 kilometers.
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.
What is the distance of 40 degree latitude south?
40° of latitude on the Earth's surface is a distance of about 2,762 miles.
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 the distance between the 20 North and 40 North lines of latitude?
The distance between lines of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) for each degree. Given that the distance between the 20 North and 40 North lines of latitude is 20 degrees, you can calculate the distance by multiplying 20 degrees by 69 miles, resulting in about 1,380 miles (2,220 kilometers).
How long is 1 degree for lines of latitude and longitude?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, and the WGS84 system that we use for degree confluences includes a mathematical model (GRS80) of the Earth as an ellipsoid. Using established GRS80 constants, and the Vincenty Algorithm (PDF document), the distance between degrees of latitude (lines that run east-west) varies from 110.57km (68.71mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 111.69km (69.40mi) between 89 degrees latitude and the poles. For the purposes of the project, we don't take these variations in the distance between degrees of latitude into account when categorizing degree confluences. Using the same calculation methods, the distance between degrees of longitude (lines that run north-south) varies between 111.32km (69.17mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 1.95km (1.21mi) at 89 degrees latitude, one degree from the north or south pole. Because the lines of longitude meet at the poles, the distance between degrees of longitude at the poles is zero.
How much time does it takes if you travel 1 degree latitude?
The time it takes to travel 1 degree of latitude varies depending on the mode of transportation and distance covered, but on average, traveling 1 degree of latitude can take around 69 miles (111 kilometers) or 60 nautical miles by air. The time it takes to cover this distance will depend on the speed of the vehicle being used for travel.
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.
How many miles in a degree of latitude at 46.5 latitude and 80.9 longitude?
At 46.5° latitude, one degree of latitude is approximately 68.71 miles. The distance in miles covered by one degree of longitude varies based on the latitude, and 80.9° longitude does not affect this latitude calculation.
How many miles is in between two parallels 1 degree apart?
The distance between two parallels that are 1 degree apart is approximately 69 miles. This value is constant at any latitude circle.
What is the distance in km between an island 179 degrees and 180 degrees west longitude at 60 degrees north latitude?
The distance between one degree of longitude at 60 degrees north latitude is approximately 55.6 km.
