The mile is a unit of distance, the degree is a unit for the angles or temperature !

∙ 13y ago1° of latitude = about 69.11 miles
1° of longitude = about 69.11 miles along the equator. But all of the longitudes
come together at the poles, so the farther you are from the equator, the fewer
miles there are in one degree.
Number of miles in 1° of longitude = (69.11) x (cosine of the latitude)

∙ 14y agoEach degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The range varies (due to the earth's slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles.
Also, for navigational purposes each degree is 60 nautical miles. Each minute of latitude is one nautical mile. The above answer is also correct.

∙ 14y agoThere are 90 degrees of latitude
The earth is ___ miles in circumference north/south direction
half that circumference = 90 degrees
There's the ratio :)
I don't know that the earth has the same circumference east/west (21 or 25k miles?) as it is north/south, but I'd bet Wikipedia would have that information (or a geography book, if its worth its salt)

If this question is referring to earth at the equator, then the answer is the same as the earths circumference. 24875 miles. Then one might ask, How many miles is there in one degree ? 24875 / 360 = 69.097 miles are in one Degree.
That depends on your speed and the number of stops you make. However, if you average 55 miles per hour for the entire distance your driving time would be about 2 hours and 43 minutes.

A degree is about 69 nautical miles, so 690.
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.
One degree of latitude on Earth is equal to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers).
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.
At the equator (25000 miles) there's about 69.4 miles per degree, so about 2222.2 miles. At the poles there would be no miles. In nautical miles it's 60 miles per degree (of latitude, which stays the same).
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.
If this question is referring to earth at the equator, then the answer is the same as the earths circumference. 24875 miles. Then one might ask, How many miles is there in one degree ? 24875 / 360 = 69.097 miles are in one Degree.
