The circles of longitude, meridians, meet at the geographical poles, with the west-east width of a second naturally decreasing as latitude increases. On the equator at sea level, one longitudinal second measures 30.92 metres, a longitudinal minute is 1855 metres and a longitudinal degree is 111.3 kilometres.
The median average insurance rate in the U.S. is $1,248 per year, which works out to just about $100 per month in insurance. Assuming $125 per month for gas, and $50 per month to save for things like registration and repairs, that leaves our hypothetical buyer with $277 for their monthly car payment.
The average monthly car payment on a new vehicle in 2017 is a hefty $479, and as of 2016, the average car loan was a whopping $30,032 with an average length of 68 months â thatâs over five and a half years! Interest rates on auto loans are also rising and will cost you well over 4 percent annually on average.
