Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude.
No two points have the same set of two numbers.
longitude
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
The 55th latitude and 55th longitude meet at the intersection point in the Pacific Ocean near the Alaska Peninsula, southwest of Alaska. This intersection represents the coordinates where the latitude and longitude lines cross each other.
An intersection of latitude and longitude lines is called a coordinate, pinpointing a specific location on Earth's surface. The coordinates are typically measured in degrees to indicate the exact position, with latitude lines running horizontally and longitude lines vertically. This system enables precise mapping and navigation.
There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).
You'll have to be more specific. Every latitude crosses all longitudes, and every longitude crosses all latitudes.
Use the latitude and longitude lines on the map along with the coordinates. Find where the two coordinates meet and that will be the location you are looking for.
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
