The point is in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of West Africa, roughly due

south of Accra and due west of Libreville. I'm not aware of any special term

for this point.

The zero degrees latitude is the Equator while the zero degrees longitude is

the Prime Meridian. But the point where they intersect has no widely-accepted

special name.

Is the equator located at 0 degrees longitude 0 degrees latitude or 180 degrees longitude?

No. Believe the accepted is Zero(0). Hence the North Pole is at +90, and the South Pole is at -90. Or 90N and 90S. Latitude Lines are accepted to be measured in Degrees/minutes. Therefore if a radius "line" at the Equator is "lifted" 1.0 degree in a Northerly direction, the point of the line at the circumference at 1.0 degree North. If one were to draw a line from that point around the entire perfect sphere(which the Earth is not), then a line of Latitude could be referenced as 1.0 Degree North Latitude.
