On the equator, the distance between two adjacent meridians is approximately 111 kilometers. This is because the equator is the largest circumference of the earth and is approximately 40,075 kilometers in length. Dividing this by 360 degrees (the number of degrees in a circle), we get approximately 111 kilometers for each degree of longitude.
