The first answer was "Somewhere in Ghana"
The second answer is: They do not cross in a city, they cross in the Gulf of Guinea at a point about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 640 miles west Libreville, Gabon.
That point is in the water, in the Gulf of Guinea,
about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
Not it does not have a name. It's simply a a coordinate. The point where the equator and 180 degrees meet also does not have a name.
Over Water, the equator and prime meridian meet over the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic ocean a few hundred kilometers off the coast of Africa, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 650 miles west of Libreville, Gabon. Also the international date line (180 meridian) and the equator meet over water, near the Phoenix islands in the Pacific.
South Atlantic Ocean - close to Bight of Benin
Accra, Ghana is about 385 miles north of that point in the Gulf of Guinea..
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.

My teacher called it the prime origin. That is a sailors' term for it that isn't in the encyclopedia, but it is an actual term.
The Equator is zero latitude. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude. They meet in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of western Africa.
Over Water, the equator and prime meridian meet over the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic ocean a few hundred kilometers off the coast of Africa, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 650 miles west of Libreville, Gabon. Also the international date line (180 meridian) and the equator meet over water, near the Phoenix islands in the Pacific.

0 Degrees
0 degrees North or South or East or West. Its in the gulf of guinea in the Atlantic Ocean.
Accra, Ghana is about 385 miles north of that point in the Gulf of Guinea..
The prime meridian does not meet. It starts at the north pole and ends at the south pole, passing through Greenwich, London. At the poles it becomes the anti-meridian or the international date line
No lines are parallel to the Prime Meridian. All of the meridians of longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and all converge at the north and south poles. Parallel lines would be the same distance apart everywhere, and never meet.
Greenwich.
