Each degree of longitude is approximately 69 miles (111 km) in length at the equator so 20 degrees is 1380 miles. The distance between lines of longitude, however, gets smaller as you move towards the poles (North or South) since all the lines converge there.

What is the distance in km between an island 179 degrees and 180 degrees west longitude at 60 degrees north latitude?

The distance between one degree of longitude at 60 degrees north latitude is approximately 55.6 km.


How many degrees of latitude are there between 45 degrees east and 40 degreeseast?

There are 180 degrees of latitude between 45 and 40 degrees east longitude. However, if you meant how many degrees of longitude are there, there are 5 degrees of longitude between 45 and 40 degrees east longitude.


WHAt is the distance bitween 91 dgree longitude east and 92 longitude east?

The distance between 91 degrees east and 92 degrees east longitude depends on the latitude. At the equator, 1 degree of longitude is about 111 kilometers, so the distance between 91 and 92 degrees east would be approximately 111 kilometers. However, this distance will decrease as you move towards the poles.


Difference between latitude and longitude?

The difference between latitude and longitude is that latitude refers to a location point's distance that is either north or south of the equator and longitude refers to a specific point's distance that is either east or west of the prime meridian. The prime meridian is the longitude line that has zero degree and passes near London, United Kingdom.


What is the distance in miles between 66 degrees west and 60 degrees west at 44 degrees north?

To find the distance between two lines of longitude at a specific latitude, you can use the formula: Distance = radius of Earth * |longitude difference| * cos(latitude). Given a radius of Earth ≈ 3,963 miles, the distance between 66 degrees west and 60 degrees west at 44 degrees north latitude would be approximately 371 miles.

Can you use the distance formula to find the distance between two points on a map?

yes you can. It will represent longitude and latitude. Take the longitude and latitude from the first point and from the second one place the values in the formula you get the distance.


What is the difference between a latitude-longitude map and a military grid reference system map?

Latitude measures the distance from East to West. Longitude measures the distance from North to South. As for Military Grid, it shows a location/object on the map and, what Latitude and Longitude line that location/object is on.

How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?

Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
