You're either 30 miles northeast of Bordeaux in France, or else you're in the ocean 1,240 miles
southwest of Capetown, SA. Depends on whether your latitude is north or south, which the
question neglects to specify.

45 N latitude.The 45th Parallel is the midway point between the Equator and the North Pole... but the true halfway point is actually 16.2 kilometers (10.1 miles) north of the 45th parallel because the Earth is oblate.
45 N 82 W is Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes of North America.45 N 82 E is Shuanghe, Xinjiang, China.Whether the longitude is East or West of the Prime Meridian is important, as shown above.
This point is in western France, about 90 miles northeast of Bordeaux.

The meridian of 45°E crosses territory in
Every 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour. So 45 degrees east of the Prime Meridian is ahead of UTC by 3 hours (45 divided by 15). So the absolute time at the Prime Meridian when it is 12:00 noon at 45o E, is 09:00 hrs.However, different countries set their time zones by reference to political and practical considerations, not just by their position in relationship to lines of longitude. Consequently in some situations, the local time in at the Prime Meridian will be different from that of other countries through which the Prime Meridian runs.For example, local (standard) time at the Prime Meridian in France and Spain and Algeria is UTC +1, whereas in the UK it is UTC +/- 0.Similarly, standard time at 45o E is generally UTC +3, but there are exceptions: Iran, for example. Longitude 45o E passes through Iran, but it is a large country, and for convenience, has adopted UTC +3.5 as its standard time zone (Iran Standard Time/IRST). So when it is 12 noon at 45o E in Iran, it is 08:30 hrs at the Prime Meridian in England but 09:30 hrs on the Prime Meridian in France.For more information about the Prime Meridian, see Related links below.

It is a longitude. The "E" means east of the chosen reference point (meridian) - nowadays, usually the Greenwich meridian is used. Minutes and seconds are subdivisions of a degree; 1 degree = 60 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 seconds.
One. Longitude is derived from the Prime Meridian. Values are measured in relation to this Prime Meridian as East or West longitude. If you withdraw this constant, Prime, then values are given in Positive, Zero, and Negative. The distance between degree's of longitude are also not exact from top to bottom. At the equator they are approx. 69 miles wide, as you go toward the poles they become smaller, with an example being at a Latitude of 45 degree's a degree of longitude is approx: 49miles wide. These can also be more specific in Minutes and Seconds. A good reference to obtain a better understanding would be: http://nationalatlas.gov/articles/mapping/a_latlong.html
It is Brazil, South America.
Unlike the parallels of latitude, which are defined by the rotational axis of the Earth (the poles being 90° and the Equator 0°), the Prime Meridian is arbitrary. By international convention, the modern Prime Meridian is one passing through Greenwich, London, United Kingdom, known as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian. Historically, various meridians have been used, including four different ones through Greenwich. Heading south from the North Pole, the Prime Meridian first passes through the United Kingdom (the most northerly land on the meridian is the shore (53°45′34″N) southeast of the Sand-le-Mere caravan park east of Kingston upon Hull, England). It then passes through France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana, and then through Queen Maud Land to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian and the opposite 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
