A 'line' can be drawn at any latitude, or not.
One degree of latitude represents about 111.1 km or 69 statute miles,
regardless of how many lines are or are not drawn in it.
If you look at the globe, you can see that the lines of longitude come together at the poles, and if you look at them flat, they would look like sections of an orange.
Lines of latitude, however, are circles, spaced evenly apart. If you measure north or south from one degree of latitude to the next degree of latitude, each degree is 60 nautical miles and each minute of latitude is 1 nautical mile, 2026 yards. Measuring degrees from one longitude line to the next is more difficult, because 1 degree of longitude is something LESS than 1 nautical mile.
There is no standard set of 'lines'. Some maps and globes have lines printed every
10 degrees, some have lines printed every 15 degrees, some have lines printed
every 20 degrees, and some don't have any lines printed on them at all.
When working in this category, this contributor uses mapping software with a
line available every 0.001389 degree if I want them. To answer your question
using this set of lines, they are 507 feet apart, which is about 0.096 mile.
1 degree of latitude corresponds to about 69.1 miles, whether or not a 'line'
happens to be printed there.
That's like asking "What's the distance between one length and the next ?", or "What's the difference
between one weight and the next ?"
There's no list of permitted latitudes that you have to pick one from. Any two latitudes that somebody gives you,
no matter how close together they are, you can always name another latitude that's half-way between them.
Stick two pencils into the ground. If one is north or south of the other, then they have different latitudes.
And there's still another different latitude half-way between them.
The longest line of latitude is the equator. All lines of longitude are equal. So, the longest lines of latitude and longitude intersect at the equator.
The lines of latitude are spaced approximately 69 miles apart from each other.
All the longitude lines are half the circumference of the Earth. Only 0 degrees latitude (the equator) is the same, the rest are all shorter.
60 miles. Each degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles. One mile per minute.
Longitude lines (meridians) run north and south and measure east and west. Latitude lines (parallels) run east and west and measure north and south.

Who far apart are the longitude lines?
Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator, where the distance between them is about 69 miles (111 kilometers). As you move towards the poles, the longitude lines converge until they meet at the poles.
What are imaginary lines that run east and west?
The imaginary lines that run east and west are called lines of latitude or parallels. They are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator, which is the line of 0 degrees latitude.
What line is used to measure how far from the equator a place is?
The lines of latitude run parallel to the equator and tell you how far north or south you are from it. The units of measurement, however, are in angular degrees. New York City, for example, lies at 40.77 degrees North latitude, which is sometimes expressed as 40 degrees, 46 minutes, 12 seconds North latitude.
What is another name for latitude lines?
Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the?
Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the equator, which is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude.
Who far apart are the longitude lines?
Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator, where the distance between them is about 69 miles (111 kilometers). As you move towards the poles, the longitude lines converge until they meet at the poles.
How far apart are parallels of latitude?
About 6 inches.
What lines measure how far from the equator a paice is?
LATITUDE
What are imaginary lines that run east and west?
The imaginary lines that run east and west are called lines of latitude or parallels. They are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator, which is the line of 0 degrees latitude.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate?
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
On topographic maps contour lines that are far apart indicate?
On topographic maps, contour lines that are far apart indicate gentle slopes or gradual changes in elevation. The farther apart the contour lines, the flatter the terrain.
How far apart are north and Nankoweap canyon?
32 miles apart.
What line is used to measure how far from the equator a place is?
The lines of latitude run parallel to the equator and tell you how far north or south you are from it. The units of measurement, however, are in angular degrees. New York City, for example, lies at 40.77 degrees North latitude, which is sometimes expressed as 40 degrees, 46 minutes, 12 seconds North latitude.
