For every degree of longitude, is divided into 60 minutes. Each minute is then divided into 60 seconds.
Since 1 degree equals 60 nautical miles.
Then 1 minute equals 1 nautical mile
Then 1 second equals approximately 35 yards across.

∙ 8y agoOne degree = 60 arc minutes = 3600 arc seconds.
1 arc second = 1/60 arc minutes = 1/3600 degrees

∙ 11y ago"Longitude" is an angle, which is a big reason for why it's expressed in angle units.
There are 3,600 minutes in 1 degree of angle.

1 degree = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds
One degree of angle is equal to 3,600 seconds of angle.
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
There are 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute, so a degree has 3600 seconds. These are arc minutes and seconds, no relation to time measurements. A circle has 360 degrees.
There are 60 seconds in every minute of longitude so there are 120 seconds in every 2 minutes of longitude.
That's like asking "How many inches are in a length ?". Longitude is an angle on the Earth's surface, so it's only fitting and proper that it should be described in angle units. If the angle units are degrees, then each degree can be cut into 60 minutes, and each minute can be cut into 60 seconds. So 1 degree = 3,600 seconds.
1 degree = 3,600 seconds

It is 3600 seconds for you have 60 minutes in every degree so there are 60 seconds in every minute.

500 seconds equals how many giga seconds? the answer is 0.0000005
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are described in the same units as any other angular quantity. 60 seconds = 1 minute 60 minutes = 1 degree 360 degrees = 1 full circle

1200 seconds equals 20 minutes. 1200 seconds
How many one seconds - in what? 60 seconds equals i minute, 60 minutes equals 1 hour.
