Latitudes and longitudes, like angles, are expressed in terms of degrees.  Degrees are a way to measure angles.  They tell us how much of a full rotation (a circle, in essence) the angle makes up.  There are 360 degrees in a circle.

Answer:

The distance between each latitude is approximately 11km as earth represents 360⁰ and circumference of the earth is approximately 40,000/ 360⁰=11km so the latitude and longitude are measured in degrees
