All lines of latitude are parallel to each other. No two lines of different latitude
ever touch or cross, and they're always the same distance apart, just like parallel
lines on a flat plane. They divide the Earth up into slices like you would have if
you sliced an apple into 'rounds', like coins, with each cut parallel to the others.
On the other hand, lines of longitude are not defined that way. All lines of
longitude join the north and south poles, so they all meet at the poles. They
divide the Earth up into sections like the sections of an orange or grapefruit ...
fat in the middle, and tapering down to a point at each end.

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.
What is the unit of latitude and longitude?
degree
What does 1 degrees of latitude equal?
Only at the equator. The linear distance covered by 1 degree of longitude gets progressively smaller as you progress towards the poles, but 1 degree of latitude remains constant.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
What is longitude messured in?
Longitude is an angle. So is latitude. Both can be measured in any angle unit, but the 'degree' and its subdivisions have always been the most popular.
What is the latitude and longitude of New Mexico?
Latitude: 21 degree north Longitude: 103 degree west
What is the latitude and longitude degree of Tunisia?
The latitude and longitude degree of Tunisia is 34°00'N & 9°00'E.

What is the unit of latitude and longitude?
degree
What is the name for the lines of zero degree latitude and zero degree longitude?
0 longitude is the prime meridian. 0 latitude is the equator.
What does 1 degrees of latitude equal?
Only at the equator. The linear distance covered by 1 degree of longitude gets progressively smaller as you progress towards the poles, but 1 degree of latitude remains constant.
What is the latitude and longitude of San Gabriel mounains to the nearest degree?
For Latitude 130! and Longitude 150!

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.
How long is kiometers in one degree latitude?
One degree of latitude is always approximately 111 kilometers. This is a constant value because the Earth is a sphere.
Is the length of the degree of longitude the same at any latitude?
No.
