    they aren't real. If you have lines of longitude on a map 10 degrees apart then they are 10 degrees apart. 15 degrees apart, then 15 degrees.

    but they get closer together in distance the further you are from the equator, so two points 1 degree apart in France will be closer than two points one degree apart in Mexico.

    They are equally spaced on the same latitude.

    Yes by angle, no by distance.
