0 degrees north to south and 0 degrees east to west
The coordinates at the point where the Prime Meridian and the Equator
intersect are, of course, zero latitude/zero longitude.
That point is in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of western Africa, about
385 miles south of Accra, Ghana. Some people who can afford it will
sail there, just to take pictures of each other and say that they've been
to "the zero point".

∙ 13y agoThe point where the prime meridian and the equator meet is in the Atlantic Ocean west of Africa and there's not any land nearby to name. The prime meridian only intersects the equator at 1 place[ the opposite point is, by definition 180 degrees west or east longitude-you can take your pick. I don't know as they really need a name because they are only a theoretical place on the navigation charts that have no function other than a grid point.

∙ 13y agoThe Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect in the Gulf of Guinea just south of Accra, Ghana,
in Western Africa.
The coordinates of the point are zero latitude, zero longitude.
While it may have some colloquial label in maritime jargon or local West African slang, it has
no particular formal title.

In 1968 my ship circled the point where the Prime Meridian crossed the Equator. At that time, it was referred to as the Zero-Zero Domain.

The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
Does the point where the prime meridian and equator meet have a special name?
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.
Do equator and prime meridian meet over water or over land?
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.

What degrees mark does the equator and prime meridian meet at I need it for a project on Larry longitude and lori latitude?
0 Degrees

What place does the prime meridian meet on the globe?
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
What place does the prime meridian meet?
Greenwich.
What lines are parelle to the prime meridian?
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.
