It's going to be slightly different at the equator from what it is nearer the poles,

because of the earth's shape.

111.2 km is a good number to remember.

The original idea of the meter was that there should be 10,000 from the equator to the poles (there are actually slightly more). there are exactly 90 degrees from the equator to the poles so 1 degree is 10,000/90 which is about 111

How many kilometers is 52 degree north of equator?

The distance from the equator to a location at a certain latitude can be calculated using the formula: Distance = radius of the Earth * arccos(sin(latitude of equator) * sin(latitude of the location) + cos(latitude of equator) * cos(latitude of the location) * cos(0)). For a location 52 degrees north of the equator, the approximate distance would be about 5,723 kilometers.
