One minute of Longitude--at your Latitude?
Where do you sail?
-- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com wrote in message ups.com... Bart Senior wrote: How long is a minute of Longitude--at your Latitude? And what is the formula to calcuate it? OZ, although your posts are mostly negative, for you it would not be a negative number. .. There are 1440 minutes to a day, regardless of what latitude or longitude you live in. Divide that by 360 (degrees) you get 4 (mins). Every degree of longitude you have 4 mins. And, sorry, I wasn't keen to butt in on your conversation. But I am a dinghy sailor and was generally browsing when I came across this post. I sail the Enterprise and Laser class. I and my wife also co-own a couple of 27 footers with a bunch of friends. We live in Chennai (formerly Madras) on the East Coast of India. Any sailor coming to this part of the world will be more than welcome here! Rgds Ravi |
