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

The equator is located at 0 latitude. Fullstop. Being a parallel it spans the whole range in longitude, from 0 to 180 and back again.


Is the equator located at o longitude o latitude or 180 longitude?

The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The longitude of the equator varies continuously from 0 to 180 degrees as you move around the Earth.


Is the equator located at 180 degree longitude?

The equator is mapped out to be positioned as the 0º line of latitude.


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

The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and does not have a fixed longitude. It circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles.


What is the line of 0 degrees longitude?

the direction that longitude run is 0 the 180 degrees and also east and west


What is the prime meridian for the equator?

If you mean the longitude of the equator, it is 180 degrees east to west longitude.If you mean the intersection of the equator and Prime Meridian, it is the Gulf of Guinea.


What has 180 degrees in each hemisphere?

The equator has 180 degrees in each hemisphere, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.


What longitudes begin just to the east of the prime meridian and continue eastward to 180 degrees longitude?

It is known as the Eastern Hemisphere, with lines of longitude easterly from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) to the Datum Line of 180 degrees longitude. In the opposite direction from the Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere. To the north of the Equator is the Northern Hemisphere, and to the south of the Equator is the Southern Hemisphere.


What are the hemispheres divided by?

A hemisphere is half a sphere so there can only be two - at a time. The equator divides the Earth's surface into Northern and Southern hemispheres. The prime meridian and the antipodal longitude (180°E and 180°W, near the International Date Line) divide the Eastern and Western hemispheres.


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.


How many degrees of longitude are there in one hemisphere?

The northern and southern Hemispheres each comprise 90 degrees of latitude. On your map or globe, you're free to draw as few or as many lines as you'd like to see in that range. There is no standard set of 'lines'.


What is 180 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.
