Phoenix AZ is at 33.456 Degrees North Latitude.
Austin TX is at 30.279 Degrees North Latitude.
"Latitude gives the location of a place on Earth north or south of the equator. Latitude is an angular measurement in degrees (marked with °) ranging from 0° at the Equator (low latitude) to 90° at the poles (90° N for the North Pole or 90° S for the South Pole; high latitude). Each degree of latitude is further sub-divided into 60 minutes. One minute of latitude is one nautical mile, defined exactly as 1852 metres.
33.456 - 30.279 = 3.177 degrees of latitude difference.
1852 meters x 60 minutes = 111.120 km per degree of latitude.
111.120 km/degree x 3.177 degrees = 353.02824 km
353.02824 km * 0.621371 = 219.3615 statute miles
Austin TX is almost 220 miles farther south than Phoenix AZ.
