Wow! What a tangled web we weave!
No, for myriad reasons.
-- Longitude is east/west, not north/south.
-- Zero degrees north is a line all around the earth, called the equator.
-- Latitudes and longitudes describe places, not directions.
-- If you want to define a direction using latitude and longitude, you need to
have the latitudes and longitudes of two different points. From those numbers,
it's possible to calculate the direction from one point to the other.
-- Well, OK. We can twist ourselves into a pretzel and give you something that
might please you:
True North is the direction from (any latitude and longitude) toward (90° north latitude),
because (90° north latitude) is the definition of the north pole.
(It's not necessary to give a longitude for the north pole, because all longitudes
converge there, so you can pick any number for it and you're correct.)
What else can I help you with?
How do longitude lines measure your position?
Well you want to look for zero degrees longitude so you start at the 'Prime meridian' this is just a fancy name for the zero degrees of longitude. The 'Prime meridian' starts at Greenich,England. Now longitude measures from North to South so if you were to find. 30 degrees North or 30 degrees south. You would just travel below or above the equater. North is above and South for below. (The equater is zero degrees latitude..)
Whats latitude and longitude of taiga?
50-60 degrees North latitude and longitude of taiga lake near United States: 60.913079, -150.451670 latitude : 60.913079 longitude : -150.451670 (Values are in decimal degrees)
Where is 90 degrees north and zero degrees west?
There is no such thing as "100 degrees north". The highest possible latitude is 90 degrees. 90 degrees north is the north pole. 90 degrees south is the south pole.
What cooridante is the prime meridian at?
0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude.
What is an imaginary line running halfway between the north pole and south pole this line is located at 0 degrees longitude?
The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.

How far do line of longitude run east and west?
Every "line" of constant longitude joins the north and south poles, so the lines "run" north and south. Longitude numbers range from zero to 180 degrees east and from zero 180 degrees west. So all together, there are 360 degrees of longitude, which is exactly what you need if you want to use longitude to measure any place all around the Earth.
Where is 90 degrees north and zero degrees west?
There is no such thing as "100 degrees north". The highest possible latitude is 90 degrees. 90 degrees north is the north pole. 90 degrees south is the south pole.

The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
Is the equator 0 degrees longitude?
Because that's its definition. When the scale of latitude was invented, zero could have been placed anywhere. For example, the south pole might have been defined as the zero, and latitudes on earth would range from zero up to 180° at the north pole. But instead, it was decided to put zero in the middle, and call the south latitudes negative and the north ones positive.
Does the Prime Meridian run horizontally or vertically?
The Prime Meridian runs vertically (from North to South) at zero degrees longitude.
What line of longitude runs from the North to South pole at 0 degrees?
Technically Yes. Concerning longitude, all of the meridians come together at the poles, so each pole has every longitude, but by convention 0 degrees longitude is used to refer to the north or south poles. So for example, the North pole is typically referred to as at 90°N 0° W and likewise the South pole as 90°S 0° W.With respect to latitude, the north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, and the south pole at 90 degrees south latitude.
Is the equator located at 0 degrees longitude 0 degrees latitude or 180 degrees longitude?
No. Believe the accepted is Zero(0). Hence the North Pole is at +90, and the South Pole is at -90. Or 90N and 90S. Latitude Lines are accepted to be measured in Degrees/minutes. Therefore if a radius "line" at the Equator is "lifted" 1.0 degree in a Northerly direction, the point of the line at the circumference at 1.0 degree North. If one were to draw a line from that point around the entire perfect sphere(which the Earth is not), then a line of Latitude could be referenced as 1.0 Degree North Latitude.
is UK north east south west?
The UK is in the Northern hemisphere - and sits astride the Greenwich meridian (zero degrees longitude)
Are there more than 180 degrees longitude?
If you travel all the way around the earth without touching the north or south pole, then you travel through 360 degrees of longitude. They're labeled (zero -- 180) east and (zero -- 180) west.
