1 degree are 60 min.
what has "
' " it's not degree they are minutes... and
" are seconds not degree
Just like there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, there are 60 minutes in 1 degree of latitude. Note that a minute in regards to latitude is a distance rather than a time.
in other hand u are at 94 km from the 24 degree Longitude in game ...
in SH5 1 degree = 120 km and 1 min = 2 km
in real life it's a bit more complicated
AT THE EQUATOR
One degree of latitude = 110.57 km or 68.71 mi
One minute of latitude = 1.84 km or 1.15 mi
One second of latitude = 30.72 m or 100.77 ft
One degree of longitude = 111.32 km or 69.17 mi
One minute of longitude = 1.86 km or 1.15 mi
One second of longitude = 30.92 m or 101.45 ft
AT LATITUDE 40 DEGREES (NORTH OR SOUTH)
One degree of latitude = 111.03 km or 68.99 mi
One minute of latitude = 1.85 km or 1.15 mi.
One degree of longitude = 85.39 km or 53.06 mi
One minute of longitude = 1.42 km or .88 mi
One second of longitude = 23.72 m or 77.82 ft
AT LATITUDE 80 DEGREES (NORTH OR SOUTH)
One degree of latitude = 111.66 km or 69.38 mi
One minute of latitude = 1.86 km or 1.16 mi
One second of latitude = 31.02 m or 101.76 ft
One degree of longitude = 19.39 km or 12.05 mi
One minute of longitude = .32 km or .20 mi
One second of longitude = 5.39 m or 17.67 ft
AT THE POLES
One degree of latitude = 111.69 km or 69.40 mi
One minute of latitude = 1.86 km or 1.16 mi
One second of latitude = 31.03 m or 101.79 ft
