If you travel westward along the 80th parallel north of the equator from the International Date Line to 150 degree East longitude, how far have you gone in both degrees of longitude and miles?
Several sites calculate this distance. Check them out.

To calculate the distance traveled while traveling westward along the 80th parallel north of the equator from the International Date Line to 150 degrees East longitude, you can use online calculators like the ones provided in the links you provided. These calculators use the Haversine formula to determine the great-circle distance between two points on a sphere, specifically the Earth.
Here's a step-by-step guide to using one of the calculators, such as the one from indo.com:
1. Open the link provided: http://www.indo.com/cgi-bin/dist?place1=80%3A00%3A00N++180%3A00%3A00W&place2=80%3A00%3A00N++150%3A00%3A00W.
2. In the input fields labeled "place1" and "place2," you will see latitude and longitude coordinates in the format "xx:xx:xxN xx:xx:xxW". These coordinates represent the starting and ending points of your journey.
3. Looking at the coordinates, you can see that the starting point is 80 degrees north and 180 degrees west ("80:00:00N 180:00:00W"), and the ending point is also 80 degrees north but 150 degrees west ("80:00:00N 150:00:00W").
4. Replace the existing coordinates with the new coordinates representing your start and end points. In this case, you want to input "80:00:00N 180:00:00W" in the "place1" field and "80:00:00N 150:00:00W" in the "place2" field.
5. Once you have entered the coordinates, click on the "Calculate distance!" button or a similar button on the website. The calculator will then process the input and display the result.
By following these steps, you will be able to obtain the distance traveled both in degrees of longitude and miles when traveling westward along the 80th parallel north of the equator from the International Date Line to 150 degrees East longitude.
