yes it does
At the equator, one degree of longitude corresponds to about 69 miles.
Measurement always deals with a distance of a line or a distance between to objects, distance between 2 points, and so on.
parallel lines - they are parallel when the distance between them remains constant
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.
The shortest distance between two points is always a straight line.
latitude
90° west longitude
The shortest possible distance is along a meridian of constant longitude (a due north-south line).That distance is 69.1 miles (111.22 km).
Yes, the distance between two points can be found if the longitude and latitude are known for both points. This can be calculated using the haversine formula, which takes into account the curvature of the Earth to determine the shortest distance between the two points.
If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that haveexactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude.

You can use the Ruler feature on Google Earth to calculate distance
