The 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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the vertical equator called?
The vertical equator is the Prime Meridian.
What is the starting point for measuring lines of longitude called?
The Prime Meridian (long) The Equator (lat)
The starting point for measuring latitude is called the what?
For Latitude, the Equator is the zero point. For Longitude, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich UK, is the starting point of zero.
What is a 0 degrees meridian?
The 0 degrees meridian, also known as the Prime Meridian, is a line of longitude that divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It is used as the starting point for measuring longitude and is located in Greenwich, London.
What latitude line is at 0 degrees?
equator
What are the differences between equator and prime meridian?
differences between equator and prime meridian
What is equator and prime meridian of Miami?
Neither the equator or the prime meridian pass through Miami
What are the three difference between equator and prime meridian?
differences between equator and prime meridian
Is the Prime Meridian the same as the Equator?
no... The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude. The equator is 0° latitude.
What is the name for the longitudinal line that runs at 0 degrees?
The equator.
What are the reference point for latitude and longitude?
The latitude and longitude references are lines, not points. The reference for latitude is the line that forms a circle and consists of all points with zero latitude. That line is called the "equator". The reference for longitude is the line that forms a semi-circle and consists of all points with zero longitude. That line is called the "Prime Meridian".
Does the point where the prime meridian and equator meet have a special name?
Yes, the point where the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the Equator (0 degrees latitude) meet is called the Null Island. However, it is a fictional location used for mapping errors, as there is no physical landmass at that coordinate.
