    Latitude can't be measured in miles, because it's not a distance.

    If you see or hear the statement that "latitude is measured in miles",

    that statement is false.

    Latitude is an angle. The only proper way to describe a latitude is in units

    of angle. Angle units include radians, grads, etc. By far the most common

    angle units used to describe latitude are degrees, minutes, and seconds.
