The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
Accra, Ghana is about 385 miles north of that point in the Gulf of Guinea..
Over Water, the equator and prime meridian meet over the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic ocean a few hundred kilometers off the coast of Africa, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 650 miles west of Libreville, Gabon. Also the international date line (180 meridian) and the equator meet over water, near the Phoenix islands in the Pacific.
At the point with the coordinates: Zero latitude / Zero longitude. That point is in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
Yes, the point where the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the Equator (0 degrees latitude) meet is called the Null Island. However, it is a fictional location used for mapping errors, as there is no physical landmass at that coordinate.

My teacher called it the prime origin. That is a sailors' term for it that isn't in the encyclopedia, but it is an actual term.

The Equator is zero latitude. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude. They meet in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of western Africa.

South Atlantic Ocean - close to Bight of Benin
The Tropic of Cancer meets the Tropic of Capricorn at the equator, which is located at 0 degrees latitude. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
0 degrees North or South or East or West. Its in the gulf of guinea in the Atlantic Ocean.
Not unless they are on a boat! 0° 0′ 0″ N, 0° 0′ 0″ E (where the equator and prime meridian meet) lies about 400 miles south of the African coast - nearly due south from Accra, Ghana in the Gulf of Guinea.
