How many meter in a toposheet make one degree?

That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.


How many seconds are in each minute of latitude?

The latitude and longitude are input in degrees, so you might need to convert to degrees from degrees:minutes:seconds. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 degree. So, for example: 65:45:36 south latitude converts to -(65 degrees + (45 minutes * (1 degree/60 minutes)) + (36 seconds * (1 minute/60 seconds) * (1 degree/60 minutes))) = -65.76 degrees latitude


When you are at one of the poles on earth how many miles is each degree?

-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.

The units are incompatible. One measures time the other is distance Unless you are talking about latitude and longitude minutes.


How many hours is 1246.0 miles?

Hours are not units of distance measurement. Minutes and seconds are, but it depends on where it is measured. If measuring degrees of longitude along the equator, each degree is about 60 miles, so one minute (1/60th degree) would be 1 mile. Degrees of longitude differ along different lines of latitude (different Earth's circumference). Degrees of latitude, however, are a constant distance (about 69 miles).
