Thanks to last weeks winner, Paul Eugenio, for the correct answer to ‘How many nautical miles in 1 degree of latitude? And how many nautical miles in 1 degree of longitude at the 60th parallel?’ Answer: 60 nautical miles in 1 degree of latitude. And 30 nautical miles in 1 degree longitude at 60th parallel, since cos(60deg) = ½ so answer is ½ of 60 nm or 30 nm.
