The mile is a unit of distance, the degree is a unit for the angles or temperature !

∙ 13y ago1° of latitude = about 69.11 miles
1° of longitude = about 69.11 miles along the equator. But all of the longitudes
come together at the poles, so the farther you are from the equator, the fewer
miles there are in one degree.
Number of miles in 1° of longitude = (69.11) x (cosine of the latitude)

∙ 14y agoEach degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The range varies (due to the earth's slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles.
Also, for navigational purposes each degree is 60 nautical miles. Each minute of latitude is one nautical mile. The above answer is also correct.

∙ 14y agoThere are 90 degrees of latitude
The earth is ___ miles in circumference north/south direction
half that circumference = 90 degrees
There's the ratio :)
I don't know that the earth has the same circumference east/west (21 or 25k miles?) as it is north/south, but I'd bet Wikipedia would have that information (or a geography book, if its worth its salt)

How many miles is 360 degrees?
If this question is referring to earth at the equator, then the answer is the same as the earths circumference. 24875 miles. Then one might ask, How many miles is there in one degree ? 24875 / 360 = 69.097 miles are in one Degree.
How many hours equals 150 miles?
That depends on your speed and the number of stops you make. However, if you average 55 miles per hour for the entire distance your driving time would be about 2 hours and 43 minutes.

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 are in degree?
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
How many miles are in one degree?
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
How many miles are in 32 degrees of longitude?
At the equator (25000 miles) there's about 69.4 miles per degree, so about 2222.2 miles. At the poles there would be no miles. In nautical miles it's 60 miles per degree (of latitude, which stays the same).
How many miles is 360 degrees?
If this question is referring to earth at the equator, then the answer is the same as the earths circumference. 24875 miles. Then one might ask, How many miles is there in one degree ? 24875 / 360 = 69.097 miles are in one Degree.
How many miles on earth equal one degree of latitude?
The number of miles in one degree of latitude depends on how far you are from the equator.
