How many seconds longitude are in one degree?
One degree of angle is equal to 3,600 seconds of angle.
How many miles on earth equal one degree of latitude?
The number of miles in one degree of latitude depends on how far you are from the equator.
Is one kelvin equal to one degree celsius?
No, one kelvin is equal to one degree Celsius in terms of increments, but they have different starting points. The Celsius scale starts at -273.15 degrees, while the Kelvin scale starts at zero.
How is a drgree of longitude or latitude further subdivided?
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.
How does the size of a Fahrenheit degree compare to the size of a kelvin degree?
A Fahrenheit degree is smaller than a Kelvin degree. In the Fahrenheit scale, one degree is equal to 1/180th of the interval between the freezing point and boiling point of water, while in the Kelvin scale, one degree is equal to the same size increment as one Celsius degree, but starting from absolute zero.
