    The document calculates the distance between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer. It states that the Arctic Circle is approximately 66 degrees 33 minutes north of the Equator, while the Tropic of Cancer is 23 degrees 26 minutes north. As each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart, the 43 degree difference between the Arctic Circle and Tropic of Cancer means the distance between them is 2,967 miles.

    What is the distance between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer in miles?

    At approximately a 43-degree distance between latitudes it would be 2,967 miles.

    Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles or 111 kilometers apart. The range varies due to the earth's
    slightly ellipsoid shape from 68.703 miles or 110.567 km at the equator to 69.407 or 111.699 km at the poles.

    The Arctic Circle is the parallel of latitude that runs approximately 66 33 39 or 66.56083 or north of the
    Equator.

    The Tropic of Cancer currently lies 23 26 22 north of the equator.

    Therefore, 43 (degrees) multiplied by 69 (miles) yields the sum of 2,967 (miles).

    These are rough measurements fit for a normal RPG

    From North Pole to South Pole is 12,420 miles.


    From Equator to either pole is 6,210 miles.

    From North Pole to Arctic Circle is 1,621.5 miles.


    From Arctic Circle to Tropic of Cancer is 2,967 miles.
    From Tropic of Cancer to the Equator is 1,621.5 miles.
    From Equator to the Tropic of Capricorn is 1,621.5 miles.
    From Tropic of Capricorn to Antarctic Circle is 2,967 miles.
    From Antarctic Circle to South Pole is 1,621.5 miles.
