The distance of one second of longitude varies depending on the latitude due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, one second of longitude is approximately 30.87 meters, but this distance decreases as you move toward the poles. At higher latitudes, the distance can be significantly less, approaching zero at the poles where all lines of longitude converge.

How far is a second in latitude and longitude?

1" in latitude represents a distance of about 102 feet. 1" of longitude represents a distance of about 102 feet along the equator. The farther from the equator you are, the shorter 1" of longitude becomes. At the north and south poles, all longitudes converge in one point.
