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...

There is not set size as it varies from roughly square dimensions near the equator to increasing taller but narrower one's at higher latitudes. Consider the grids that touch the north or south pole: they are triangles.
