Degrees, Minutes and Seconds to Distance A degree of longitude at the equator is 111.2 kilometers. A minute is 1853 meters. A second is 30.9 meters. For other latitudes multiply by cos(lat). Distances for degrees, minutes and seconds in latitude are very similar and differ very slightly with latitude. (Before satellites, observing those differences was a principal method for determining the exact shape of the earth.)

You cannot convert degrees directly to meters because degrees are a unit of angle measurement, while meters are a unit of distance. However, if you have the length of an arc along the Earth's surface in degrees, you can convert that to meters using the Earth's radius and the formula for calculating arc length.

Meters is a measure of length and degrees are an angle measurement.

Can't convert directly from one to the other.
