One degree of latitude is equal to how many kilometers?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

One degree of latitude is approximately equal to 111 kilometers. This value is an average, as the distance can vary slightly due to the Earth's varying shape and size.

Answer 3

One degree of latitude equals 60 nautical miles by definition. 60 nautical miles equals 70 land miles or about 112 kilometers

Answer 4

One degree of latitude is equal to about 111.1 kilometers.

Answer 5

at the equator one degree of latitude is 68.7 miles

Answer 6

Since lines of longitude converge at the poles, the distance between them is not consistent.

Answer 7

Roughly 111 kilometres, it varies a little because of the Earth's shape.

Answer 8

The original definition of a meter was 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the pole to the equator, so 90° latitude = 10,000 km. Thus, 1° latitude = 111.11 km

Answer 9

Approx. 111.1 km.

Answer 10

about 111
