The International Date Line runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).

Where does longitude and latitude cross?
"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.
What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
What is the line of latitude at 0 degrees around the middle of the globe called?
The line of latitude at 0 degrees is the equator. 0 degrees= middle both ways.To remember longitude from latitude and latitude from longitude remember this:longitude: LONG... up and down... North and Southlatitude: lat.. flat... side to side... East and West
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart where they intersect the line of the equator.
What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
What is the latitude and longitude of the point of the equator and the international date line?
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.

What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
What area do the 0 degree line of latitude and 0 degree line of longitude cross?
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the prime meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
Is the equator parallel or a meradian?
Lines of equal Latitude run parallel (ie never cross) East-West (such as the Equator) Lines of equal Longitude (Meridian) run North-South and cross at the Poles.
What is the continent or ocean where the equator and the prime meridian cross what is the latitude and longitude of that point?
-- Gulf of Guinea, south of Accra, Ghana -- Since everywhere on the equator is zero latitude, and everywhere on the Prime Meridian is zero longitude, the point that is common to both had better have the coordinates zero/zero .

What is the latitude and longittude where the prime meridian crosses at the equator?
The Prime Meridian is defined as zero longitude, and the equator is defined as zero latitude. So the point where they cross has the coordinates: Zero, Zero. The point is in the sea, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
What line passes thru the equator?
All of the meridians of longitude cross the equator.
