What is the distance in miles from the Equator to Aruba?
Aruba is about 863 miles [1,389 kilometers; 750 nautical miles] from the Equator.Aruba's latitude is 12 degrees 30 minutes North latitude. One degree of latitude is equal to about 69 miles [60 nautical miles]. There are 60 minutes in one degree of latitude. The formula to figure the distance is 12.5 x 69 miles [60 nautical miles]. The result is 863 miles [750 nautical miles].
How wide is one degree of latitude?
The width of one degree of latitude depends on the location. At the equator on degree is 68.71 miles. At latitude 40 degrees, one degree is 68.99 miles. At latitude 80 degrees, one degree is 69.38 miles.
How many miles in a degree of latitude at 46.5 latitude and 80.9 longitude?
1 degree of latitude is about 111 km or about 69 miles. Anywhere.
How many miles is in 1 degree?
Degrees of longitude are uniform in length. 1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude) however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
Where are you when you are at 0 degree longitude and 0 degree latitude?
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean, about 380 miles (611 kilometers) south of Ghana and 670 miles (1078 km) west of Gabon.

Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?
The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.
One degree of latitude is equal to how many kilometers?
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
