In degrees of latitude ... for example, Honolulu is 20N ... or 20 degrees north of the equator.

A degree is ROUGHLY 60 nautical miles ... depending on where on Earth you are. Thus, Honolulu is ABOUT 1200 nm from the equator.

Twice the distance as somewhere halfway closer to the equator, or 7.3 grimbats.
