You would not ask "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?"
You would ask "How tall are you ?"
The central tower of the Grand Palace in Bangkok is located at
13.7500° north latitude
100.4913° east longitude. Other spots around town have different coordinates.
Invercargill, New Zealand is closest to the 168th meridian line of longitude.
The prime meridian is a line of longitude. Nothing can be closer to something than itself.
34 degree north and 75 degree west
Chile is the southern hemisphere country that is closest to the US. Both countries have territories near the 90°W line of longitude at their closest points.
Japan occupies the range of longitude between roughly 122.95° and 145.81° East. A meridian ('line') of longitude at any position within that range crosses land or territorial waters of Japan, and you can't get any closer than that.
I really don´t know i came on were for the anwser
The center of Mexico City is located at 19.42° north latitude 99.13° west longitude. Would you ask someone "What line on the ruler is closest to your height ?" I'm guessing you'd ask him "How tall are you ?" Forget about "lines". There is no standard set of of latitude and longitude lines from which you have to choose one that's somewhere close.
The closest Idaho ever gets to 100 degrees west longitude is along its eastern border with Wyoming, at about 111 degrees west.
Zero degrees ! The Prime Meridian is the starting point for the angular divisions around the globe.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, and it sits at 0 degrees longitude.
It would be somewhat easier to answer this question if I knew whether you're referring to the Memphis in Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Tennessee, Texas, or one of the many of them outside the US. There haven't been any permanent residents of the ancient city of Memphis, Egypt, for over 1,400 years now. But its location is well known, much remains of its impressive temples and monuments, and the center of archaeological activity to uncover its history is located about 12 miles south of Cairo, at 29.8493° north latitude 31.2550° east longitude. There's no such thing as "the closest line". Longitude is not some official set of standard lines, from which we're supposed to pick one that's somewhere close to the location we're working with. A 'line' can be drawn at ANY longitude. You wouldn't ask somebody "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?" You would ask him "How tall are you ?" Similarly, you don't need to be satisfied with "What line of longitude that the publisher decided to print on this map is closest to the place I'm interested in ?" You have every right to ask "What is the longitude of that place ?" whether or not the publisher has decided to print a line there.
The major line of longitude located at 180 degrees longitude is the International Date Line.
