That point is about 23.3 miles southwest of the center of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
The small town of Waipukurau is at latitude 40 degrees south. It is inland from the east coast, roughly halfway between Hastings and Palmerston North. On the east coast the settlement of Mangakuri beach is at latitude 40 degrees south. The town of Whanganui (sometimes spelled Wanganui) on the west coast of the North Island, is at 39.9 degrees south.
The city of Durban is situated on the east coast of South Africa, on the Indian Ocean. See the Related Link of a map of Africa. One click of the mouse will enlarge the map enough for you to get a clear indication of the location of Durban.
The 0 degree line of latitude separates te northern and the southern hemispheres. It is called the Equator. Lines of latitude mark distances from equator to each respective pole. From 0 degrees latitude (the Equator), there are 90 degrees to each pole. Each degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles. 1 nautical mile is approximately 6,076 feet. So, 90degrees x 60nm/degree = 5,400 nautical miles from the Equator to a pole. This is a very rough calculation, because the Earth is not perfectly round. Be sure to remember, that a statute mile is 5,280 feet (rather than 6,076 feet). So, in terms of statute miles, the Earth's circumference is closer to 25,000 miles. Air and land navigation typically uses nautical miles or distance measurement. Speed is in nautical miles per hour (called "knots"). Lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so the distance between them is the same no matter how far you are from the Equaor. But, lines of longitude (from north pole to south pole) are not parallel -- the distance between them is greatest at the equator (basically 1 nm apart), but the instant you move north or south the distance starts shrinking as the lines of longitutde merge te closer you get to the poles.
No, no part of India is south of the equator.

One degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, so 15 degrees of latitude would be around 1,035 miles.
An average minute of latitude is a nautical mile. The difference between 68° and 66.56°, the approximate latitude of the Arctic Circle, is 1.44°, which is about 86.4 minutes, which is about 86.4 nautical miles. Multiplying by 1.15 miles per nautical mile gives you about 99.4 miles, which is about 160 kilometers.
At 30 degrees N latitude, you are 30 degrees north of the equator. Each degree of latitude is equivalent to about 69 miles, so at 30 degrees N latitude, you would be approximately 2,070 miles north of the equator.
A degree of Latitude is 69 miles or 110kms
-- 164 degrees -- 11,334 miles -- 18,240 km
roughly 180 miles
At those points on the surface of the Earth, a degree is approximately 69 miles.
Earth's Circumference at the Equator: 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km) (from about.com); 0 degrees latitude is the equator.
The Equator is 0 degrees latitude.The degrees of latitude are approximately 69 miles (111 kilometres) apart.
Denver is located approximately 40 degrees north latitude and Los Angeles is around 34 degrees north latitude. So, the distance between them in terms of degrees of latitude would be about 6 degrees. Considering 1 degree of latitude is approximately 70 miles, Denver is roughly 420 miles north of Los Angeles.
The length of 90 degrees of latitude in nautical miles is 60.31. In statute miles 69.40
