Asked by Meghan

On the surface of the Earth, it is approximately 6,200 miles to the North or South pole. How many miles is it between two parallels 5 degrees apart?
Answered by Ms. Sue
It's 180 degrees latitude between the Poles.

6200 / 180 = 34.44 miles in each degree.

34.44 * 5 = ?

It is 68.88888889 because there are ONLY 90 degrees of latitude between each pole. So, 6200/90=68.8888889.
