That's like asking "How many inches are in a length ?".

Longitude is an angle on the Earth's surface, so it's only fitting and proper that

it should be described in angle units. If the angle units are degrees, then each

degree can be cut into 60 minutes, and each minute can be cut into 60 seconds.

So 1 degree = 3,600 seconds.
