Answer: The distance between lines of longitude varies in length at different latitudes, the distance lessening as latitude increases

Step-by-step explanation:At the equator, 69.171 statute miles separate lines of longitude, but by 30° latitude, there are only 59.956 statute miles between lines of longitude.
