Step 2: Know that latitude lines run horizontally and measure how far north or south you are from the equator.
Step 3: Realize that the Earth is roughly a sphere, and the distance between lines of latitude is fairly consistent.
Step 4: Learn that 1 degree of latitude is approximately equal to 111 kilometers.
Step 5: Remember that this distance is the same anywhere on Earth because latitude lines are parallel.
