The earth's circumference, at the equator, is approx 24,000 miles.
360 degrees = 24901.5 miles
so 1 deg = 24901.5/360 = 1660 miles approx.
One degree is equal to 60 minutes. In terms of angles, this means that each degree can be divided into 60 equal parts, where each part is called a minute of arc. If you are referring to temperature, then 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to 1 degree on the Celsius scale, and 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to 1 degree on the Fahrenheit scale.

If the temperature is 1K then it would be -272oC, or -457oF. Each degree of Kelvin is equal to each degree of Celsius, they just have a different stating point. 0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water, whilst 0 degrees Kelvin is absolute zero. Which would be approximately -273 degrees Celsius.

To convert 1.4 miles to meters, first note that 1 mile is approximately 1,609.34 meters. Therefore, 1.4 miles is about 2,253.34 meters. Since each length of the pool is 25 meters, you can divide 2,253.34 meters by 25 meters, which equals approximately 90.13. Thus, it takes about 90 lengths of a 25-meter pool to equal 1.4 miles.
Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. While the distance represented by a degree of longitude can vary with the latitude, each degree of latitude (north and south) is equal to 60 nautical miles, so one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile. (About 1.15 statute miles) One nautical mile is equal to 2026 yards, so one second of latitude is equal to 33.8 feet.
Aruba is about 863 miles [1,389 kilometers; 750 nautical miles] from the Equator.Aruba's latitude is 12 degrees 30 minutes North latitude. One degree of latitude is equal to about 69 miles [60 nautical miles]. There are 60 minutes in one degree of latitude. The formula to figure the distance is 12.5 x 69 miles [60 nautical miles]. The result is 863 miles [750 nautical miles].
Minutes (1/60 of a degree) and seconds (1/60 of a minutes). After that you use decimals of a second.
As many or as few as you want. There is no 'standard' set of "lines". If you give me two lines of latitude that are only 1 minute apart, I can draw another line between them, spaced only 1/2 minute from each of yours.
Each mile is 1.608 km. Use this as a conversion factor.
90 degrees from the equator to either pole, so 6200 divided by 90 is...68.8888888888888888888888888888888888...
It depends on what latitude you're on. At 90o latitude, there are 0 miles between them. At the Equator, there are slightly over 69 miles between the earth's longitudes per degree of arc.

Denpasar in Bali lies 8.65 degrees south of the equator. Each degree of Latitude is around 111 kilometers Therefore Bali is about 960 Kilometers or 596 miles south of the equator.
If you are 1 degree off heading over a distance of 1000 miles, you would be off by approximately 17.45 miles. This calculation is based on the formula for calculating the distance off course due to a heading error, which involves trigonometry and the Earth's radius. Therefore, even a small error in heading can result in a significant deviation over a long distance.
-- 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.
If you run track then you know that each mile has 1200 meters because each lap contains 400 meters, and a kilo means a thousand so each mile is equal to 1.2 kilometers. that means that there .83 of a mile = a kilometer
