What city is 0 latitude 80 west longitude?

Answer 1

Longitude has to be specified as east or west, so your point could be in either one

of two different places.

(Latitude also has to be north or south, but since this point's latitude is zero, that

doesn't matter right now.)

If your point is at 85 degrees east longitude, then it's in the Indian ocean about

600 miles southeast of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

If your point is at 85 degrees west longitude, then it's in the Pacific Ocean off the

west coast of South America, about 450 miles west of Quito, Ecuador.

Answer 2

Normally, 'latitude' must be accompanied by the tag 'north' or 'south', and

'longitude' must be accompanied by the tag 'east' or 'west'. It doesn't matter

in this case, however, because the coordinates specified in the question are

prima facia meaningless.

Latitude, no matter whether north or south, is never more than 90 degrees.

"90 degrees north" is the north pole, and there is no place more north than that.

"90 degrees south" is the south pole, and there is no place more south than that.

If it's any consolation, "00 degrees longitude" does describe all points on the Prime

Meridian, the imaginary line that joins the north and south poles and passes through

Greenwich UK. The line is something over 12,000 miles long, and "00 degrees longitude"

is true of every point on it.

Answer 3

Latitude 90° North is the location of the north pole.

Latitude 90° South is the location of the south pole.

Longitude is irrelevant at either pole, because ALL longitudes converge

there. When you stand at either pole, you stand at all longitudes.

Answer 4

That's the middle of the International Date Line, about 580 miles (933 km) north of Tuvalu and about 242 miles (389 km) west of Baker Island.

Answer 5

That pair of coordinates marks a point on the Earth's surface located at sea in the

Gulf of Guinea off the coast of west Africa, about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.

Answer 6

There's no city there. That point is near the northwest coast

of Ecuador, about 105 miles west-northwest of Quito.

Answer 7

Quito, Equador
