latitude longitudes are known as meridians
No number of meters equals one minute, unless possibly minutes of longitude are meant. Normally, minutes measure time and meter measures distance, which are incommensurable (incompatible) categories.
You can, but the distances are not constant - they are zero at the poles and increase as you go towards the equator.
It is a time zone.
Since there is no such thing as absolute time, there is no way to measure it.
