latitude=17 59 N longitude=79 49 W
The North/South lines on the geographic grid are named 'Lines of Longitude' or 'Meridians'. The 'Zero' line passes through Greenwich Observatory in London, England. This position was fixed historically, some 350 years ago, by Astronomers and navigators of the day, and has remained so to this day. The 180 degrees line of longitude passes through the Pacific Ocean, and for most of its course it is also the International Date Line.
80 degrees north latitude is in the Arctic Ocean at almost any longitude. 80N passes through northern Greenland, an island in northern Canada, and an island in Russia, but mostly it's the Arctic Ocean.
Lines of Latitude run east and west (aka the Equator which is zero degrees latitude) and are measured north and south of the equator. Lines of longitude run north and south and are measured east and west from the Prime Meridian in Greenwhich, England.
0 degrees longitude, known as the Prime Meridian is a line running from the North Pole to the South Pole that passes through Greenwich England.
Every longitude between 52.63° and 141° west, and every latitude between 41.7° and 83.1° north, passes through Canada.

The center of the intersection of College and 1st in Newberg is located at 45.30023° north latitude 122.97266° west longitude. Other places in town are going to have slightly different numbers, but no point in Newberg, or anywhere in Oregon, is anywhere near 33° of latitude or longitude. 33° north latitude passes east-west near San Diego, Phoenix, Alomogordo, and Dallas/Fort Worth. 33° west longitude passes north-south through Greenland and the Atlantic Ocean, and misses the east coast of Brazil by about 120 miles.
0 degrees longitude, known as the Prime Meridian is a line running from the North Pole to the South Pole that passes through Greenwich England.
The maximum value for latitude is 90, and latitude is measured north or south, so "100 east latitude" is impossible for two reasons. 120 East Longitude passes through the Philippine Islands, among other locations.
Each line of longitude extends from one pole to the other, perpendicular to the equator. Along each meridian, the equator is 0° latitude, the north pole is 90° north latitude, and the south pole is 90° south latitude. The prime meridian, which is the meridian that passes through Greenwich, England, is 0° longitude, and the international date line, directly opposite the prime meridian, is 180° east or west longitude.
Saudi Arabia mainly lies between 20 and 30 degrees north latitude.
29 degreea North
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
