A time belt, or zone, is 15 degrees of longitude wide.
-- The northern and southern hemispheres each have 90 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude. -- The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of latitude and 180 degrees of longitude.
Illinois and Iran are both several degrees of longitude wide. So, depending on the starting and ending points you select, the space between them may have several different values. -- The longitude at the center of Springfield, IL is about 88.64° West. -- The longitude at the center of Tehran, Iran is about 51.41° East. -- The difference is about 140.1° degrees of longitude.
Each time zone would be approximately 18 degrees wide, since the Earth has 360 degrees of longitude and is divided into 20 time zones.
Russia spans across a wide region, so it has various longitude and latitude coordinates. However, the westernmost point of Russia is approximately around 19 degrees east longitude and 41 degrees north latitude. The southernmost point of Russia is around 41 degrees north latitude and 37 degrees east longitude.
As wide as my ass:)
Iraq is about 9.8 degrees of longitude wide, and North Carolina about 8.8 degrees wide. So, depending on which points you pick on each end, the longitude between them could swing over a range of about 18.6 degrees. -- Mosul is 121.1 degrees east of Wilmington. -- Basra is 130.2 degrees east of Greenville.

Alaska occupies a wide range of longitude, including 150 degrees west. It's the only state crossed by that particular meridian.
One. Longitude is derived from the Prime Meridian. Values are measured in relation to this Prime Meridian as East or West longitude. If you withdraw this constant, Prime, then values are given in Positive, Zero, and Negative. The distance between degree's of longitude are also not exact from top to bottom. At the equator they are approx. 69 miles wide, as you go toward the poles they become smaller, with an example being at a Latitude of 45 degree's a degree of longitude is approx: 49miles wide. These can also be more specific in Minutes and Seconds. A good reference to obtain a better understanding would be: http://nationalatlas.gov/articles/mapping/a_latlong.html

The grassland biome covers a wide range of longitudes and latitudes, but generally falls between 23.5° and 60° latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Longitude can vary, but many grasslands are found within the mid-latitude regions of continents.
