A set of latitude/longitude numbers nails down a single point on the Earth.
The point can be located on a continent, but a whole continent can't be located
at a point.
The point 20° N / 0° is in the Sahara desert in northeast Mali, about 990 miles
north of Accra, Ghana, and 1,050 miles east of Africa's Atlantic coast.
It's called the intersection of the Equator and the Prime Meridian, at a point in theGulf of Guinea, south of Accra, Ghana, and west of Libreville, Gabon. If it has anyspecial name, we're not aware of it.
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.

The prime meridian is a line at 0 degrees longitude.
0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude.
The Asian continent is located at this intersection of longitude and latitude.
The prime meridian is a line at 0 degrees longitude.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles including the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line.
