-- 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).

How many miles is 15 degrees latitude?
One degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, so 15 degrees of latitude would be around 1,035 miles.
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.

Is Alaska above or on the 60 degree north line of latitude?
The 60th parallel of north latitude crosses Alaska, something like 80 miles south of Anchorage and 115 miles north of Juneau. That means that 90% of the state or more is located north of 60°, and only the small part that remains is south of that latitude.

Are the lengths of lines latitude equal to each other?
No, as you move north (or south) form the equator, they form smaller and smaller circles. -- The length of the zero latitude line (the equator) is about 24,900 miles. -- The length of the 30-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 21,500 miles. -- The length of the 60-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 12,400 miles. -- The length of the 90-degrees latitude line (north or south pole) is zero.
