Degrees of longitude are uniform in length.
1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude)
however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
The length of the equator is 3963.2 miles. The 1 degree latitudes are 3962.6 miles.
69 miles
About 69.2 miles (rounded)
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.
1.17MM
1 degree of latitude =70 miles (112 km)
The length of the equator is 3963.2 miles. The 1 degree latitudes are 3962.6 miles.
63.55
At 37 degrees north latitude, 1 degree of longitude is approximately 53 miles. The distance varies depending on the latitude due to the Earth's curvature.
At 46.5° latitude, one degree of latitude is approximately 68.71 miles. The distance in miles covered by one degree of longitude varies based on the latitude, and 80.9° longitude does not affect this latitude calculation.
Latitudes are evenly spaced regardless of the longitude. One degree of latitude corresponds to 60 nautical miles on the surface, or about 69.1 regular miles.
Depends on the referenced point
One degree off course is sufficient enough to get a close look of the moon.
69 miles
Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.
One degree of latitude is 69.06 miles. With this information, and knowing that there are 5,280 feet in a mile, this becomes a simple arithmetic problem.
Did you know that if you are off course by just one degree then for every mile that you travel you get 92 feet further away from the right heading.
