1 degree of latitude corresponds to about 69.06 miles on the surface, and

it doesn't depend on the longitude. Using that figure, 1 second would be

101.3 feet. In the field survey for microwave links, we call it 100-ft.

How many feet in one second of longitude?

The 'second' referred to is in reference to Degrees Minutes & Seconds Such As:N 11°22'33" E (example) Where the 33" is the "Seconds".However in the case listed above, the Degrees, minutes, and Seconds refers to a direction and not a location. The appropriate answer to the question refers to Latitude and Longitude, where you will express the degrees, minutes, and seconds as a location rather than a direction and will appear similar to this:11°22'33" N, 11°22'33" W (example)Answer in this scenario:A degree covers about 69 miles. Divide that by minutes and find that there is about 1.15 miles in a minute. Divide that by 60 and you will find that there is about .019 miles in a second. Since there are 5280 feet in a mile, multiply .019 by 5280 to get about 101.20 feet in a second.There are APPROXIMATLEY 101.20 FEET between two seconds of latitude or longitude.Credit:Kristifier Paxton; Civil DraftsmanBrixey Engineering & Land Surveying, Inc.Fort Smith, Arkansas(479) 646-6394Answer improved on August 27, 2012.
