Well, that's question that doesn't have an answer in exactly the form it was asked,
because there's no 'set' of latitudes to go from one to the next. It's like asking
"How far is it between each height ?"
One degree of latitude is roughly 69.11 miles, but latitudes can be measured down to
a difference of less than an inch.
One minute of latitude is about 1.15 miles, or 6082 feet, and one second of latitude
is about 0.0192 mile, or 101.4 feet.
Stick a pencil into the ground, and a good surveyor can measure its latitude
down to less than 0.001 second.
As many or as few as you want. There is no 'standard' set of "lines". If you give me two lines of latitude that are only 1 minute apart, I can draw another line between them, spaced only 1/2 minute from each of yours.
There are 20 degrees of latitude between 30° N and 50° N. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles or 111 kilometers apart.
It's about 760 miles. The Fourth Initial Meridian later became the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary, and the western provinces were extended northward from the 49th parallel (international boundary) to the 60th parallel, a distance of about 760 miles.
The distance between latitudes varies because lines of latitude are parallel, with distances between them increasing as you move toward the poles. On average, each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. This means that the total distance between 0 degrees (equator) and 90 degrees (pole) would be approximately 6,215 miles (10,000 kilometers).
-- Since every point on a line of latitude has the same latitude, the line has no thickness. -- Its length depends on its latitude. -- The line at zero latitude, known as the 'equator', is a great circle and so its length is the circumference of the Earth ... about 24,900 miles. -- Every other line of latitude is a small circle. Its length is 24,900 miles times the cosine of the latitude which it marks. -- The distance between any latitude and the one that's 1° north or south of it is about 111.1 kilometers (69 miles).

It depends on what latitude you're on. At 90o latitude, there are 0 miles between them. At the Equator, there are slightly over 69 miles between the earth's longitudes per degree of arc.

At those points on the surface of the Earth, a degree is approximately 69 miles.
At 30 degrees N latitude, you are 30 degrees north of the equator. Each degree of latitude is equivalent to about 69 miles, so at 30 degrees N latitude, you would be approximately 2,070 miles north of the equator.
The distance between 25 degrees north and 50 degrees south latitude is approximately 5,632 miles. This is calculated by adding the circumference of the Earth at the equator (about 24,901 miles) to the sum of the distances from the equator to each of the latitudes.
90 degrees.
The distance between two parallels (lines of latitude) that are 1 degree apart can be calculated using the approximate circumference of the Earth at the equator, which is about 24,901 miles. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the distance between each degree of latitude is approximately 24,901 miles divided by 360, which equals about 69.17 miles. Therefore, the distance between two parallels that are 1 degree apart is approximately 69 miles.
To determine the distance between two parallels that are 1 degree apart, you can use the formula: distance = 69 miles × degrees of latitude. Since 1 degree of latitude is approximately equal to 69 miles, the distance between two parallels that are 1 degree apart is roughly 69 miles. This approximation varies slightly with latitude for lines of longitude, but it holds true for lines of latitude.
