the distance spans 90°, so 6200/90 = 68.9 miles
Of course, that would be statute miles. By definition, it would be 60 nautical miles, since each is 1 minute of latitude.
If it is approximately 6,200 miles from the equator to the North Pole or South Pole, how many
miles is it between two parallels 1° apart?
