What city is located at 78W longitude and 0 latitude?

Answer 1

There's no city there. That point is at an elevation in excess of 15,000-ft on a

snow-capped mountain in Ecuador. It's about 26 miles south-southeast of the

town of Ibarra, and 37 miles east-northeast of the center of the capital at Quito.

Answer 2

Ah, what a lovely question. At 78 degrees west longitude and 0 degrees latitude, you'll find the beautiful city of Quito in Ecuador. It's a place surrounded by stunning landscapes and rich culture, perfect for inspiring your artistic soul. Remember, every place on this Earth has its own unique beauty waiting to be discovered.

Answer 3

The city located at 78W longitude and 0 latitude is Quito, the capital of Ecuador. It is the only capital city in the world that lies directly on the equator. The coordinates 0 latitude and 78W longitude place Quito in the northern hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.

Answer 4

Well, honey, that city would be smack dab on the prime meridian at 0 latitude, giving us Greenwich, London. So, if you ever want to stand in two hemispheres at once and brag about it, that's the place to be. Just don't forget to set your watch to GMT while you're there.

Answer 5

"78 degrees west longitude" is the description of an infinite number of points

arranged along a line that joins the north and south poles, and is more than

12,000 miles long.

The line crosses literally hundreds of cities, towns, and villages, including . . .

• Lacorne, Quebec
• Grafton, Ontario
• LeRoy & Perry, NY
• Coudersport, McConnellsburg, & Huntingdon, PA
• Big Pool, MD
• Martinsburg, WV
• Culpeper, Louisa, & Blackstone, VA
• Goldsboro & Wallace, NC
• several islands in the Bahamas
• Camaguey, Cuba
• Montego Bay, Jamaica
• La Palma, Panama
• Ibarra & Puyo, Ecuador
• Corongo, Peru.

The line also crosses about 1,130 miles of Antarctica,

where there are no permanent cities.

Answer 6

Cities are generally not located at even numbered lat/long grids on the map; cities grow where transportation meets resources. This is why most older cities are on a river, and why most middle-aged cities are along a railroad, and newer cities grow up around freeway interchanges.

The coordinates 42N 78W appear to be a pasture, right on the boundary between New York State and Pennsylvania. The nearest village is Alma, NY, about 3 miles to the west.

northeast of the center of Quito, Ecuador.
