They're not comparable at all. Distance ... like what you measure when you walk, drive,
or swim ... is described in units of length, such as feet, meters, or miles. Latitude and
longitude don't have any units at all, because they're angles.
The distance between the north and south poles is about 12,400 miles, and it's described
in terms of 180 degrees of latitude on the curved surface of the globe. So 1 degree of latitude ...
travel toward the north or south... corresponds to about 69 miles.
Longitude can't even be described that simply. The angle all the way around the Earth is
360 degrees of longitude, and 1 degree of longitude also corresponds to about 69 miles of
distance, but that's only at the equator, In the case of longitude, they ALL meet at the north
and south poles, so the farther you are from the equator, the less miles cover 1 degree of
longitude. At the poles, it's zero miles per degree.

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.
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.

Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
What is the distance by one degree of longitude at Massena New York?
I measured it at the latitude of 44° 56' north ... that's the latitude where Willow St. crossesParker Ave., on the north side of the river.At that latitude, 1 degree of longitude measures 48.92 miles (78.73 km).
What is distance per degree longitude at 10 degrees latitude?
At 10 degrees latitude, the distance per degree of longitude is approximately 111.32 kilometers. This value gradually decreases as you move towards the poles.
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.
What is the distance from the same longitude point between latitude A43 and B51?
The distance from 43° to 51° north latitude, along a meridian of constant longitude,is 552.9 miles (889.8 km).
How many miles does 1 degree of longitude equal at 37 degrees north latitude?
At 37 degrees north latitude, 1 degree of longitude is approximately 53 miles. The distance varies depending on the latitude due to the Earth's curvature.

What is the actual distance between lines of the longitude?
It depends on one's latitude, I believe. Distance at the Poles, Zero, at the Equator about 700 miles.

What is the distance in miles between 66 degrees west and 60 degrees west at 44 degrees north?
To find the distance between two lines of longitude at a specific latitude, you can use the formula: Distance = radius of Earth * |longitude difference| * cos(latitude). Given a radius of Earth ≈ 3,963 miles, the distance between 66 degrees west and 60 degrees west at 44 degrees north latitude would be approximately 371 miles.
What is the distance from Dallas TX USA to Hameenlinna Finland?
it's 5,173 miles, looking at latitude and longitude only.
When you are at one of the poles on earth how many miles is each degree?
-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
