The distance from Gillete Stadium (42° 3' 55'') from the equator line is 3133 Miles and 16,542, 240 Ft.

Explanation:

From Equator (0° 0' 0'') to Gillete Stadium (42° 3' 55''). According to the shape of the earth the common distance between two latitudes degrees is 69 MI and each minute is approximately 1 MI. Doing the calculation: From 0 to 42 degrees we have (42°x69 MI) = 2898 MI + 3' = 180 MI (180 Min, Each Min = 1 MI) + 55'' (Each Min = 1 MI) 55 Miles

2898 MI

180 MI

55 MI

3133 MI Total from Equator to Gillete Stadium.
