How many feet are in 1 second of latitude at 43 degrees of longitude?
1 degree of latitude corresponds to about 69.06 miles on the surface, andit doesn't depend on the longitude. Using that figure, 1 second would be101.3 feet. In the field survey for microwave links, we call it 100-ft.
How many miles are in a degree?
Degrees of latitude and longitude can be further subdivided into minutes and seconds: there are 60 minutes (') per degree, and 60 seconds (") per minute. For example, a coordinate might be written 65° 32' 15". Degrees can also be expressed as decimals: 65.5375, degrees and decimal minutes: 65° 32.25', or even degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds: 65° 32' 15.275". All these notations allow us to locate places on the Earth quite precisely - to within inches. A degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. A second of latitude is approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet. A degree of longitude varies in size. At the equator, it is approximately 69 miles, the same size as a degree of latitude. The size gradually decreases to zero as the meridians converge at the poles. At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles. Because a degree of longitude varies in size, minutes and seconds of longitude also vary, decreasing in size towards the poles.

Smallest unit of latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles. There is no smallest unit. If you move one inch north of where you are right now, you've changed your latitude about 0.00000023 degree, or about 0.000004 milliradian.

How many miles are between two degrees?
Is it longitude or latitude? Each degree of separation between latitude lines (this is as you travel due North or due South) is about 69 miles. This would also be true of degrees longitude only at the Equator. As you move toward one of the poles, longitude degrees get smaller, until you are at a pole, and you could walk a small circle around the pole in a few feet, and cover all 360 degrees.

How many degrees above the horizon is the north star from longitude 39 degrees 53 ft and 49 inches north and latitude 76 degrees 9 ft 50 inches west at 5AM?
The "North Celestial Pole" of the sky is always due north of you, and at the same angle above your horizon as whatever your north latitude is. It doesn't move, and the north star is always within about 1/3 of a degree from that point. Your longitude makes no difference at all. And neither does the time of day. And feet and inches have no place in angle measure. And latitude is north or south and longitude is east or west.
