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.

Smallest unit of latitude and longitude?
The smallest unit of latitude and longitude is one minute, which is further divided into seconds. One minute of latitude is approximately equal to one nautical mile. One minute of longitude varies in distance based on the latitude but is also approximately one nautical mile at the equator.
How many feet are in 1 second of latitude at 43 degrees of longitude?
1 degree of latitude corresponds to about 69.06 miles on the surface, andit doesn't depend on the longitude. Using that figure, 1 second would be101.3 feet. In the field survey for microwave links, we call it 100-ft.
What country has the second greatest longitude?
Canada has the second greatest longitude, meaning it has the second greatest distance from one farthest point to the other. Usually, the largest countries are the longest.
How many feet will sound travel in one minute?
At the temperature of 20 degrees Celsius the sound travels 343 meters in one second or 1125.328 feet in one second. That is 20580 meters in one minute or 67523 feet in one minute.
How far is a second in latitude and longitude?
1" in latitude represents a distance of about 102 feet. 1" of longitude represents a distance of about 102 feet along the equator. The farther from the equator you are, the shorter 1" of longitude becomes. At the north and south poles, all longitudes converge in one point.
How many meters in 1 second of longitude?
The distance of one second of longitude varies depending on the latitude due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, one second of longitude is approximately 30.87 meters, but this distance decreases as you move toward the poles. At higher latitudes, the distance can be significantly less, approaching zero at the poles where all lines of longitude converge.
How many feet would a car travel in 1 second at 21 mph?
