Q. What is the distance at the equator (km) between lines of latitude, lines of latitude being the vertical lines that seperate time zones on our lovely, lonely little planet.
Im drawing a global thingamy and I need that measurement.

work it out I reckon:
Get the circumferance of the globe and divide by the number of lines of lat..infact...you may not even ned to do this, just work it out for the scale of your map.
If there's no reason for perfect measurement, then you can just fudge it.

Did you know???
There is enough concrete in the Hoover Dam, to build a sidewalk, 3' wide, around the equator.
True.
