For instance let's take the parallels Equator and Tropic of Cancer. The distance between them will be 111 km. That is the same for all other parallels of latitudes.

Earth represents 360° and the circumference of the Earth is approximately 40000 km.
Thus 40000/360 = 111 km
So the distance between two successive parallels of latitudes is 111 km
