Why do cartographers break down degrees of longitude and latitude into minutes and seconds?

The circumference of Earth is about 40 000 km. To find the distance of each degree of latitude, cartographers divide 40 000 km by 360°. To locate positions on Earth more precisely, cartographers break down degrees of latitude into 60 smaller units, called minutes.

What feature on a map shows the ratio?

Maps are made to scale. In each case, the scale represents the ratio of a distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground.

Which map has the largest scale?

A large scale map is where the RF is relatively large. A 1:1200 map is therefore larger scale than a 1:1,000,000 map. The 1:1,000,000 map would usually be called a small scale map….1. Types of Map Scales.

Size of Scale	Representative Franction (RF)
Medium Scale	1:1,000,000 to 1:25,000
Small Scale	1:1,000,000 or smaller

How many nautical miles are in 1 degree latitude?

60 nautical miles

How many miles are between latitude lines?

69 miles

How many nautical miles are in 1 minute?

Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The range varies (due to the earth’s slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles. This is convenient because each minute (1/60th of a degree) is approximately one nautical mile.

How are nautical miles calculated?

A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the earth, and is equal to one minute of latitude. It is slightly more than a statute (land measured) mile (1 nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles ). A knot is one nautical mile per hour (1 knot = 1.15 miles per hour ).
