Degrees are divided into minutes. Minutes are divided into seconds. Degrees, minutes and seconds.
Every degree is divided into 60 minutes.
Minutes. There are 60 minutes in one degree of a circle, each minute representing 1/60th of a degree.
Each degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds.
Minutes refer to units of geographical measurement used in latitude and longitude coordinates. One degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, with each minute representing 1/60th of a degree. Minutes are further divided into seconds for more precise geographical location determination.
The states that are on or above the 60 degree N line of latitude are Alaska and parts of northern Maine.
North America is at 60 degrees north and 120 degrees west.
Taiga is found in the subarctic and boreal zones, typically between 50 and 60 degrees north latitude. This region includes parts of Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, and Northern Asia.

Minutes & seconds
A degree is traditionally divided into 60 parts called "minutes", each minute is divided into 60 parts called "seconds". To distinguish from the time units, which are of course unrelated, you can also call those divisions arc-minutes, and arc-seconds. It is, however, also quite common to just specificy fractions of a degree in decimals, as in, the Earth's axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees. And we can also say this in Mathematical terms that: 1 degree=60 minutes We also know that : 1 minute=60 seconds it means: 1 degree = (60*60)=3600 seconds It means that minutes are the smaller unit for measurements of angle in "D.M.S system" than the degree and seconds are definitely even smaller than minutes. D.M.S system = Degree, minutes and seconds system
Each degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds.
Just like an hour, a degree is also divided into 60 minutes, each of which is divided into 60 seconds - so, one degree has 3600 seconds. Often called "arc-seconds", to avoid confusion.
60. There are 360 degrees in a circle, each degree can be divided into 60 minutes and each minute divided into 60 seconds.
A "line" of latitude is a circle that goes all the way around the earth, parallel to the equator. The "line" is made up of all the points on Earth that have the same latitude, and any latitude you name makes a different "line". The"line" is not divided up into any parts. Latitude is an angle. Latitudes are described in units of angles, usually degrees and parts of a degree. There are 60 minutes in one degree of angle, and 60 seconds in one minute of angle.
a minute
A minute of arc [See Link] or arcminute (MOA) is a unit of angular measurement, equal to one sixtieth (1/60) of one degree. Since one degree is defined as one three hundred sixtieth (1/360) of a circle, 1 minute of arc is 1/21,600 of the amount of arc in a closed circle.There are 148,510,800 square arcminutes in a complete sphere.A circle is 360 degrees.A degree is a circle divided into 60 equal parts.An arcsec is a degree divided into 60 equal parts.
