To calculate the distance in degrees:
\[ D = \frac{M}{CF} \]
Where:
Miles to Degrees is a conversion factor used to convert geographical distances measured in miles to degrees of latitude or longitude on the Earth’s surface. This conversion is based on the approximate circumference of the Earth, which is about 24,901 miles or 360 degrees. The conversion factor is roughly 69 miles per degree, but can vary slightly depending on the specific location on Earth due to its slightly elliptical shape.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Divide the distance in miles by the conversion factor:
\[ D = \frac{138}{69} = 2 \text{ degrees} \]
