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

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
