$$13.4443° - 0° = 13.4443°$$
To convert this angular distance to linear distance, we need to multiply it by the Earth's radius. The Earth's radius is approximately 6378 km. Therefore, the linear distance between Guam and the equator is:
$$13.4443° × 6378 km = 85,687 km$$
Therefore, Guam is approximately 85,687 km away from the equator.
