Turkey is the country where 40 degrees N latitude crosses 40 degrees E longitude. Turkey has an area of 302,535 square miles, and a population of 76,667,864.
The lines of 10°N latitude and 0° longitude cross in the country of Ghana, located in West Africa.
40° N latitude crosses 40° E longitude in Turkey.
You would cross 90 degrees of latitude to travel halfway around the world. Each degree of latitude represents approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers), so half of the Earth's 180 degrees of latitude is 90 degrees.
First you go to where the prime meridian (0 degrees line of longitude) and the equator (0 degrees line of latitiude) cross, which is just south of Ghana in Africa. From there you go east or west according to the first coordinate and follow that around the earth to the correct line of longitude. Then you go north or south from that point to whatever the latitude indicates. The lines are usually shown on the globe at 15 degree intervals so you will need to interpolate (approximate) the position between the lines.
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significance, but it's in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles (611 kilometers) south of Accra, Ghana and 670 miles (1078 km) west of the coast of Gabon.
