Latitude and longitude are angles, not lines.
The center of the intersection of Holbrook Ave and Baker Ave in Wellfleet
is located at
41.9371° north latitude
70.0332° west longitude.
Other points on the Cod have somewhat different coordinates.
The center of the intersection of Graham Rd and Marais Rd, at the
Marais Road Synagogue in the Sea Point neighborhood, is located at
33.91343° south latitude
18.39029° east longitude.
Other spots around town have somewhat different coordinates.
Sorry. We've heard of Cape Horn, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Kennedy, Cape Town,
Cape Cod, Cape Girardeau, Cap Hatien, Cape May, and Cape Canaveral, among
others, and we don't know which cape you might be thinking of.
And when you get there, please don't ask the ship's Captain "What's the nearest line
of latitude/longitude from where we are ?" You would not ask a taxi driver "What's the
nearest street address to where we're at ?"
Ask the Captain "What is our present latitude and longitude ?"
There is no standard set of 'lines'. You can draw a 'line' on your map, if you feel like it,
that shows whatever latitude and longitude you happen to be located.
At.
Please note that the "Cape of Good Hope" (or Kaap de Goode Hoop) IS a general location/ region.
It is NOT a specific location, and does NOT specifically refer to Cape Town per se.
If anything it describes the "Cape Peninsula" and was first used in nautical terms, as was "The Cape of Storms".
The general latitude and longitude would be in the region of:
Latitude: 33°55′S
Longitude: 18°25′E
They are 33.9767° S (South), 18.4244° E (East).
longitude:27 degrees east or west
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
Longitude
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
The lines of 10°N latitude and 0° longitude cross in the country of Ghana, located in West Africa.
Latitude runs east to west of the earth and longitude lines rubs north to south of the earth.
Latitude: 26.2000° S (South) Longitude: 28.0667° E (East)
Latitude lines go west and east of the prime meridian and longitude lines run north and south. hope that helps!

No. You are describing lines of longitude.
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
The one that measures the angle from the equator and is tagged 'north' or 'south' is the latitude. The one that measures the angle from the Prime Meridian and is tagged 'east' or 'west' is the longitude.

Those co-ordinates place you at the southern tip of South Africa.
