The fomula is Departure = D.lengthy * Cos(Lat) In non nautical words this says Distance = massive massive difference of Longitude * CoSine(decision) Take the version between both Longitudes and shrink to minutes through ability of multiply stages through ability of 60 and which include the minutes then diverse this through ability of the Cos 23.5 stages. Your answer is in nautical miles. massive massive difference = 5 stages = 3 hundred minutes 3 hundred * Cos(23.5) = 275.12 nm in case you want to remodel to statute miles 1nm = 6080 ft 1sm = 5280 ft and for sturdy degree 1nm = 1852 meters
