~69.2 miles N-S, but E-W depends on the latitude. The E-W distance gets less as you head towards the poles as the longitude lines converge, so the size of the square changes.

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...
