Queens is a borough in the city of New York. Long Island is the name of the island that Queens to the North and Brooklyn to the South are on. Queens and Brooklyn are on the Western end of Long Island. Nassau and Suffolk are other counties on Long Island. For some people, Queens and Brooklyn are not apart of Long Island, (they consider New York City to be separate from Long Island), but, they are on the western part of the island.

queens
Technically, Queens is on long island and Queens is a borough, but when you get to a certain point of Long Island, it becomes a different county and it is no longer Queens county. Also, at that point, only the Long Island Rail Road goes out to the far ends of Long Island, the usual trains stop at a certain point. Who knows, maybe it's just my Queens bias kicking in :)
Yes, the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are both on Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens (which are also Kings County and Queens County, respectively) occupy the western end of Long Island. Kings County (aka the borough of Brooklyn) is the westernmost county on Long Island, and Queens County (aka the borough of Queens) is the second-westernmost. Queens lies on top of and somewhat east of Brooklyn, as if it just tried to sit down on Brooklyn too hard, and is now slipping off the right side of it. The remaining, eastern portion of Long Island is occupied by Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State, but not part of New York City as Brooklyn and Queens are. Suffolk County is the easternmost county on Long Island, and at 912 square miles, it is also the largest, taking up 65% of Long Island's total land area (which is 1401 square miles).
There are four airports on Long Island. LaGuardia, JFK, Long Island Republic Airport and MacArthur Airport. LaGuardia and JFK are in Queens. Queens is one of the five boroughs of New York City, but, it is on Long Island (as is Brooklyn, which is directly below Queens). MacArthur Airport is in Islip, and Long Island Republic Airport is in East Farmingdale.

No, it's located in Long Island.
Queens is one of the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island). Along with Brooklyn, Queens is located on the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn is directly to the south of Queens. Long Island is the largest island in the continental United States, and is located just east of the bottom of New York State.
Yes. Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island, at the western edge of it. Queens is directly above Brooklyn. If you continue north in Brooklyn, you'll end up in Queens, and if you continue heading east from Queens/Brooklyn, you will end up on the rest of Long Island (Nassau & Suffolk Counties).
Nassau, Suffolk, Queens
That is the correct spelling of the plural noun "queens."It is also the name for a borough of New York City, Queens (on Long Island).
