One degree of longitude represents about 69.1 miles along the equator. It

dwindles as you move away from the equator, and is zero at the north and

south poles.

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.


How many miles are in 32 degrees of longitude?

At the equator (25000 miles) there's about 69.4 miles per degree, so about 2222.2 miles. At the poles there would be no miles. In nautical miles it's 60 miles per degree (of latitude, which stays the same).


What is one degree of latitude equal to in nautical miles?

The lines of longitude radiate out from the poles. At their point of origin, i.e. at 90o latitude, there is no distance at all between the lines! However, at latitude 89o, very near the poles, the distance between the respective 'one degree' lines of longitude is about one nautical mile. At latitude 48.37o the distance along the line of latitude is 40 nautical miles And a 1o longitude difference along the equator (0o latitude) represents a distance of about 60.1 nautical miles.

How many statue miles are there on a degree of longitude at the poles?

Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.


One degree of longitude equals how many seconds?

For every degree of longitude, is divided into 60 minutes. Each minute is then divided into 60 seconds. Since 1 degree equals 60 nautical miles. Then 1 minute equals 1 nautical mile Then 1 second equals approximately 35 yards across.

How many miles are in degree?

One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.

How many miles are in one degree?

How many miles does 1 degree of latidude equal at 64 degrees west longitude?

Latitudes are evenly spaced regardless of the longitude. One degree of latitude corresponds to 60 nautical miles on the surface, or about 69.1 regular miles.


How many miles is in 1 degree?

Degrees of longitude are uniform in length. 1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude) however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
