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.
There are 60 minutes in 1 degree
1 degree of latitude =70 miles (112 km)
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.
About 69 miles
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.

40 degrees of latitude is approximately 2760 miles. 1deg = @69 mi. For nautical miles 1 degree of latitude equals 60 nautical miles. 1 minute of latitude equals 1 nautical mile. This means that if you were at 41deg 25minutes North latitude, you would be 2,485 nautical miles north of the equator.
