If you parachuted out of a plane at 20 N longitude and 120 W latitude would you be on land or water?

Answer 1

First of all, the north/south coordinate is the latitude, and the east/west one is the longitude.

If you jump out of an airplane directly above the point on the earth with coordinates

20 N / 120 W and fall straight down, then during the time you're falling, you're on neither

land nor water, but in the air above the surface, at steadily decreasing altitude.

When you reach the surface, you might well continue your descent, since you're at sea

in the Pacific Ocean, about 930 miles due west of the coast of Mexico, 1,000 miles south

of Santa Barbara, California, and 2,275 miles due east of Hawaii.

Answer 2

You would likely land in the Pacific Ocean, as the coordinates 20N, 120W point to a location in the ocean near Hawaii.
