In this tutorial, Jennifer shows how you can use a location's latitude to determine how far north or south the location is from another location, measured in degrees of latitude. The same process can be used to calculate how far east or west a location is from another using longitude. One important reminder that is shown is how many minutes are in one degree of distance on a circle.
Note 1: When measuring distance on a sphere, the unit of measurement is in degrees (shown in this video calculation).
Note 2: Because the Earth is not a perfect circle, the distance represented by 1 degree changes depending where you are on the globe. If you are looking to convert the degrees measured to another unit, you will need to figure out if you are looking at a distance between latitude or longitude before converting them.
