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.

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.
