Conversion of arc seconds to inches depends on the distance that is being measured. There are 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes per degree and 60 seconds per minute. The circumference of a circle is PI * diameter. So 1 arc second of a 1 foot diameter circle is equal to .000029 inches. (12 * PI inches diameter divided by (360*60*60))

How do I convert latitude into decimal format?

I assume you mean you have a latitude of d degrees, m minutes and s seconds that you want as a decimal number. The minutes and seconds are just like time: 1 minute (of arc) = 60 seconds (of arc) 1 degree (of arc) = 60 minutes (of arc) = 60 × 60 seconds (of arc) = 3600 seconds (of arc) → to convert d° m' s" to decimal add: d + m/60 + s/3600 Degrees latitude North are positive, whereas South are negative. eg 52° 6' 15" N is 52 + 6/60 + 15/3600 = 52 + 0.1 + 0.0041666... = 52.1041666...° ≈ 52.1042° eg 47° 12' 40" S is -(47 + 12/60 + 40/3600) = -(47 + 0.2 + 0.0111...) = -47.2111...° ≈ -47.2111°


A mosquito can fly at 0.6 miles per hour how many inches per second is this?

To convert miles per hour to inches per second, you first convert miles to inches (1 mile = 63,360 inches) and hours to seconds (1 hour = 3,600 seconds). So, 0.6 miles per hour is equivalent to 0.6 * 63,360 inches per 3,600 seconds, which is approximately 10.8 inches per second.
