How far is it to one degree to the other on a map?

Question:my teacher wants us to get this question right or at least try

Answers:
in nautical terms or on a nautical chart one degree is one nautical mile a land mile is 5,280 feet where a nautical mile is 6,000 feet look up nautical measurments in your browser for further info hope it helps it also depends on the scale of the chart or map in question eg. 1:100 the 1 is one inch 100 is the actual number of miles or feet that 1 inch represents on the map or chart
Depends. A degree of latitude is always 60 nautical miles (about 70 statute miles), but a degree of longitude depends on your latitude -- it will be 60 nautical miles at the equator, and less anywhere else.
One mile
