That all depends on where you are relative to the equator and either one of the poles.

The lines of longitude all come together at the north and south poles ... if you see a globe with longitude lines on it, it looks like the sections of an orange.

At the equator, 1 degree of longitude is roughly 69 miles. From there, it tapers down to zero at either pole.

Math: At any latitude, the distance covered by one degree of longitude is

(about 69 miles) multiplied by (the cosine of the latitude).

If the Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) of the sun is 173 and deg and the Local Hour Angle (LHA) is 358 and deg ... What is the longitude?

To find the longitude, you can use the formula: Longitude = GHA - LHA. In this case, Longitude = 173° - 358° = -185°. Since longitude values range from -180° to 180°, you can add 360° to get a positive value: -185° + 360° = 175°. Thus, the longitude is 175° East.
