It depends on where you are in the world, as they're not really "square". Up towards the poles they get a pronounced triangular shape, on down by the Equator, they're more like a rectangle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Grid_Squares

Hello All,
A friend and I were discussing the actual physical size of a grid square in kilometers and or miles and we cannot come up with anything positive. Can anyone reading this provide us with those actual numbers? No real argument involved. Just a matter of curiosity..... Thank you in advance...
