Is it possible for a city to be located at 120 degree south and 30 degree west?

Answer 1

Logically not, because no place on earth can have a latitude of 120° South. The

south pole is at latitude 90° South, and you can't go any farther south than that.

Answer 2

Yes, a place on Earth can be located at more than 90 degrees longitude as the maximum degree of longitude is 180.

However, a place on Earth cannot be located at more than 90 degrees latitude as it is already the maximum.

Answer 3

Because 90 degrees north is the north pole, and 90 degrees south is the south pole.

If you go more than 90 degrees north from the equator, you'll be completely over

the top, much like many of the questions you see here. When that happens, you're

coming down the other side, and you're less than 90 degrees north of the equator

on that side.

Answer 4

You haven't specified which meridian you have in mind, but it doesn't matter.

All the way around the earth is 360 degrees. 90 degrees east or west from

any longitude is 1/4 of the way around in that direction.

If two people start out from the same meridian, and one goes 90 degrees east

and the other goes 90 degrees west, then together, they travel around 1/2 of the

Earth. They wind up exactly opposite each other, and there's still another half that

they haven't touched.

Answer 5

Sure. 90 degrees is only 1/4 of the way around the globe.

-- 90° east from the Prime Meridian puts you somewhere on a line through

Russia, Mongolia, China, Bhutan, India, Bangladesh, and the Indian ocean.

-- 90° west from the Prime Meridian puts you somewhere on a line through

Nunavut, Canada, Wisconsin through Mississippi in the US, Mexico, Guatemala,

and the Pacific Ocean.

That whole strip between 90° east and 90° west covers exactly 1/2 of the Earth's

surface, leaving another 1/2 of it outside of that area.

Answer 6

Sure. For every possible number between zero and 180, there's both an east

and a west longitude.

The 90 west meridian joins the north and south poles, as every meridian does,

and passes through the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario, the states

of Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and

Louisiana very near New Orleans, then across the Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Guatemala,

El Salvador, and the Pacific Ocean across the Galapagos Islands and Antarctica, to

the south pole.

Answer 7

No. The maximum number for latitude is 90 degrees, either north or south.
