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.

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
69 miles
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.
About 69 miles
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.
2,073 (rounded)
A degree is about 69 nautical miles, so 690.
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
One degree of latitude on Earth is equal to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers).
