That depends on your latitude. Longitudes all taper closer together, like

the ribs of a tangerine, as you move from the equator to the poles, and

all longitudes meet in a single point at each pole.

One degree of longitude represents a distance of about 111.1 km (69 miles)

on the equator, and zero at either pole.

At any latitude, the distance between two consecutive degrees of longitude is (69 miles) times (cosine of the latitude).
