It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km.

At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km.

Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.
