This is a tough one. -- The equator can't cross any latitude. The definition of the equator is "zero latitude". -- No latitude can be greater than 90 degrees, north or south. But just the same, we'll try and spot something that this question may have had in mind. At 83° west longitude, we do have Cuba ... the main island at 22° and Isla de la Juventud at 21° north latitude. That's the only island at 83° west, except for Antarctica. At 83° east longitude, I find no islands at all except for Antarctica. At 120° west longitude: Prince Patrick Island and Banks Island, in northern Canada. At 120° east longitude: We pass within 3 miles of the coast of Taiwan, cross Luzon and several smaller islands in the Philippines. Sulawesi Island in Indonesia is on the equator at this longitude ... could that be it ? Then on to Pulau Flores and Pulau Sumba Islands also in Indonesia, across western Australia, then end in Antarctica.
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
The location at 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude, where the equator and the Prime Meridian intersect, is nearest to the continent of Africa. Specifically, it is situated in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of West Africa, and is relatively close to countries like Ghana and Gabon. This point is often referred to as "Null Island," although it is not an island in the traditional sense.
No, the equator is more to the south of India.
which continents does not cross the equator
"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.
The continent at 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude (the intersection of the equator and prime meridian) is Africa. The point is located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Ghana and Liberia.
The Equator does not cross England at any point.
The point where those two lines cross is at sea, in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of west Africa, about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
