What country is 50 degrees north and 70 degrees east?
Asked by Wiki User
None of them is, because a set of latitude/longitude numbers defines a single point
on Earth, and it's not possible for a whole country to be located at a single point.
You could very well ask: Which if these countries is this point in ? That would be
a completely proper question.
Unfortunately, the answer would still be: "It is in none of them." The point 30°N/70°E
is in central Pakistan, about 180 miles east of Quetta. It's at least 500 miles from the
nearest point in Iran, 3,700 miles from the nearest point in Nigeria, 3,300 miles from
anywhere in Japan, and 4,500 miles from anywhere in Canada.
Could you have made a mistake copying the coordinates ? Let's examine them:
-- The point 30° North / 70° West is located in the Atlantic Ocean about
690 miles east of Jacksonville, FL. That couldn't have been it.
-- The point 30° South / 70° East is located in the Indian Ocean about
1,500 miles southeast of Madagascar. That wasn't it either.
-- The point 30° South / 70° West is located in eastern Chile about
75 miles east of La Serena. That wasn't it either.
Can anything at all in this question be salvaged ?
-- 30° North latitude crosses Iran and Japan.
-- 70° East longitude doesn't cross any of these countries,
but 70° West longitude catches a small part of Canada.
--30° South latitude doesn't cross any of these countries.
The question is almost entirely beyond rescue.

Which city would probably have a warmer climate one at 20 north or one at 40 South why?
Asked by Wiki User
All other things being equal such as elevation, proximity to ocean currents, deserts, etc., the location at 20 degrees north would most likely have the warmest yearly "average" temperature due to the fact that it is nearer to the equator where the Sun's migration is limited to approximately 23.5 degrees north and south annually. The limits of the Sun's annual migration are defined by the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
