Yes, a minute is smaller than a degree. There are 60 minutes in 1 degree when measuring angles in geometry or geographic coordinates.
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.
Minutes, degrees, and seconds are units used to measure coordinates in longitude and latitude. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds. For example, a coordinate might be expressed as 45 degrees 30 minutes 20 seconds, indicating a specific point on the Earth's surface in the coordinate system.
A "line" of latitude is a circle that goes all the way around the earth, parallel to the equator. The "line" is made up of all the points on Earth that have the same latitude, and any latitude you name makes a different "line". The"line" is not divided up into any parts. Latitude is an angle. Latitudes are described in units of angles, usually degrees and parts of a degree. There are 60 minutes in one degree of angle, and 60 seconds in one minute of angle.
Minutes (1/60 of a degree) and seconds (1/60 of a minutes). After that you use decimals of a second.
India lies between latitudes 8° 4' and 37° 6' N and longitudes 68° 7' and 97° 25' E.
