You would be stranded indeed, at sea, about 183 miles north of the Indonesian city
of Jayapura on the north coast of the island of New Guinea.
And by the way, the "140 degrees east" coordinate is your "longitude".
In the middle of the Pacific
china china tokyo
Roughly, that would be 23°00'N 102°00'W
technically sea but near Indonesia
no, it is the zero degree line of longitude the equator would be the zero degree line of latitude
The maximum degree of latitude is 90 degrees north and south, so 180 degrees latitude does not exist. If you meant 180 degrees longitude, then the answer would be that the International Date Line, a major line of longitude, is located there.
That would be the Equator.
That would depend on the speed that you are travelling. The distance between 1 degree of latitude is approximately 111km (69 miles).
The Royal Observatory at Greenwich ... the world reference for 0° longitude ... has a latitude of about 51° 28' 45" . So 1 degree north of that historic place would have latitude of 52° 28' 45" . That latitude has no particular significance for navigation.
I would be far out at sea in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,700 miles east of Recife, Brazil, 2,440 miles northwest of Capetown, South Africa, and 5,375 miles southeast of New York City. I can promise you that I would not be happy.
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.
