How many minutes in a tenth of a mile?

The time required to travel 1/10 of a mile would depend upon the speed.The latitude/longitude "minute" is 1/60 of a degree, and is measured as flat on maps although it is on the curved exterior of the Earth. A minute of latitude is equal to a nautical mile, which is 1.15 miles or 1.85 kilometers. A minute of longitude is equal to that only at the equator, and becomes less as you move toward the poles and the longitude lines converge.So there would be 0.087 latitude minutes in 1/10 of a mile.


How much distance does 1 second of latitude equal?

One second of latitude equals 100.39 feet . . .here is the proof:one degree = 60 Nautical Miles or 69 Statute miles; (conversion factor 69/60 = 1.15)one minute minute = 1 Nautical Mileone second = 1 Nautical Mile / by 60 seconds = 0.01666 of a Nautical Mileuse conversion factor of 1.15 x 0.01666 = 0.019159 x a Statute Mile -->equals (5420 ft X 0.019159) = 100.39 feet per second of latitudeRead more: How_much_distance_on_the_earth's_surface_does_one_second_of_latitude_equals


How many miles from latitude 43.41 degrees n to 46 degrees n?

roughly 180 miles


How many minutes is 16.7 miles?

You need to specify the latitude and longitude of the end points and whether you want minutes of latitude or of longitude.


How do you convert degrees into miles?

1 foot = 0.3048 meter 1 international nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles = 1.852 kilometers = .99933 U.S nautical mile (obsolete) 1° latitude = 69.047 statute miles = 60 nautical miles = 111.12 kilometers For longitude the conversion is the same as latitude except the value is multiplied by the cosine of the latitude. i got this off a website and it worked for me :]

How is a drgree of longitude or latitude further subdivided?

Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. While the distance represented by a degree of longitude can vary with the latitude, each degree of latitude (north and south) is equal to 60 nautical miles, so one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile. (About 1.15 statute miles) One nautical mile is equal to 2026 yards, so one second of latitude is equal to 33.8 feet.


How wide is one degree of latitude?

What is the distance in miles from the Equator to Aruba?

Aruba is about 863 miles [1,389 kilometers; 750 nautical miles] from the Equator.Aruba's latitude is 12 degrees 30 minutes North latitude. One degree of latitude is equal to about 69 miles [60 nautical miles]. There are 60 minutes in one degree of latitude. The formula to figure the distance is 12.5 x 69 miles [60 nautical miles]. The result is 863 miles [750 nautical miles].
