There is no way to tell. Their precise latitude locations would enable this computation.

Note that unlike N and S latitude lines, which have a fixed distance between degree lines, the spacing between longitude lines varies greatly with latitude. Close to the poles, there is practically no distance between 175° W and 179° E -- at the equator, the lines are separated by about 360 nautical miles, which is about 414.3 miles or 666.7 kilometers.

It depends on your latitude. At the poles, there is 0 difference, since ALL longitudes merge at the poles. At the equator, there will be the greatest distance between the two longitude lines.
