According to its original definition, a metre was one ten millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator along the meridian through Paris. That is, the distance from the North Pole to the equator was 10 million metres. This also represented 90 degrees, so 1 degree = 10 million/90 = 111111.11 recurring metres.

1 degree = 60 minutes so 1 minute = 111111.11../60 metres

= 1,851.851851... metres

= 1.851851... *103 metres

= 1.851851... *1012 nanometres.

Although the definition of the metre was refined, it was not significantly altered from its original value.

How many seconds are in each minute of latitude?

The latitude and longitude are input in degrees, so you might need to convert to degrees from degrees:minutes:seconds. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 degree. So, for example: 65:45:36 south latitude converts to -(65 degrees + (45 minutes * (1 degree/60 minutes)) + (36 seconds * (1 minute/60 seconds) * (1 degree/60 minutes))) = -65.76 degrees latitude

How do you convert height to miles?

You need to specify the height of what. height can be messured in the same manner as length. i.e. something that is 5280 feet high is one mile high. Therefore an item at 10,000 feet above ground at one fixed point it can be said to be 1.89 miles high. The calculation is e.g. 10,000(feet) divided by 5280.00(feet) = 1.89 miles. If the height is in yards then its 333.333 yards high divided by 1760.00(yards in a mile) = 1 (mile) However, if you are looking at converting aircraft height and not building heights then The nautical mile (symbol NM ) is a unit of length that is about one minute of arc of latitude measured along any meridian, or about one minute of arc of longitude at the equator. By international agreement it has been set at 1,852 metres exactly (about 6,076 feet). e.g 1 foot = 0.000164579 nautical miles 1000 feet = 0.164579 NM 10,000 feet = 1.164579 NM
