The question seems incomplete, as it doesn't specify what "w" refers to. However, if you meant to ask about a specific location or phenomenon, please clarify, and I'd be happy to provide the closest line of latitude. Generally, lines of latitude, such as the Equator (0°), Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N), and Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S), mark significant points on the Earth's surface.
Latitude: N 19° 49' 48.45" / Longitude: W 90° 32' 5.6724"
The state extends westward from the "big island" of Hawaii, near 150°W longitude, to near 178° W longitude (Kure Atoll), and the associated island chain stretches northwest to the Aleutian Trench.
There's no such thing as "the closest line". There's no standard set of "lines" that everybody must use. You can draw a line on your map at ANY latitude. The main door of the terminal building at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is located at 43.6316° north latitude 79.3959° west longitude. There are an infinite number of other points in Toronto, and most of them are located at different latitudes.
-- " 155° W " is a longitude, not a latitude. -- That meridian crosses territory in the states of Alaska and Hawaii.
The latitude of the obelisk in the center of St. Peter's Square in the Vatican is 41° 54' 08.05" north. The latitude of the center of the Arch of Constantine, near the Colosseum, is 41° 53' 21.85" north. You wouldn't ask "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?" You would ask "How tall are you ?"
30 degrees north

About 23.5 degrees
The closest line of latitude to Mexico City is the Tropic of Cancer, at 30 degrees north. Mexico City itself is close to 19° N.
The Tropic of Cancer.

104W is a longitude line. Anything labelled as "E" or "W" is longitude.
The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is, the closer it is to the equator. There's no such thing as the 'closest' or smallest. You can name any latitude you want to, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
