The length of 1 degree of latitude is less at the equator because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator due to its bulging shape. As you move towards the poles, the Earth's circumference decreases, causing the length of 1 degree of latitude to increase because the lines of latitude are closer together near the poles.

What is degree latitude of Valdivia, Chile
The circle beside the number when measuring temperature is called a degree symbol. It represents a unit of temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
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.
The equator represents the zero degree line of latitude.

No, Ptolemy did not choose the equator randomly as the zero-degree parallel of latitude; it was based on practical and observable criteria. The equator represents the midpoint between the poles, making it a logical reference point for measuring latitude. This choice allowed for a consistent framework to divide the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres, facilitating navigation and mapping.
That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.

One degree of latitude is always approximately 111 kilometers. This is a constant value because the Earth is a sphere.
Minutes (and seconds) are finer subdivisions of degrees. There are 60 minutes in a degree, so a minute represents 1/60th of a degree.
