Since the earth is about 24,000 miles around, one degree is about 66.67 miles. At 66.67 miles/hour it would take an hour. I am assuming that you are referring to a great circle passing through where you are standing. If you are referring to longitude it would vary with latitude.

it depends on which direction you are going. degrees of longitudes/meridians are not constant like latitudes. (for longitude you need to know how far you are from greenwich time and then as an hour is 15 degrees, you can multiply the hour diff. with 15 n find your meridian). of course in the end it all depends on how fast YOU are moving not the earth. on equator this one degree (4 mins) equals to ~111 kms.

Latitude or longitude, and where? One degree near the north pole could take only 1 second, while at the equator, a lot longer. Oh....it's spelled degree.

Depends on how fast you are going. If you're in a car travelling 60 MPH, it will take you 1hour, 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

If you are near the North Pole -- just a few seconds.
If you are on the equator, then the distance is about 69 miles.

Depends...
At what speed are you walking?
Are you walking on a hypothetical flat road?
What if there are hills etc..?
Are you traveling by your feet or by a vehicle?
You need to give more specifics!
Then maybe we could give you a better answer.
Good luck!
