What is the latitude and longitude point were the equator and international date line cross?
The International Date Line runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).
What else can I help you with?
Where does longitude and latitude cross?
"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.
What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart at the equator and closest together at the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge at the poles and spread apart at the equator due to the Earth's shape being an oblate spheroid.
What is the line of latitude at 0 degrees around the middle of the globe called?
The line of latitude at 0 degrees is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and is the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.
What is the latitude and longitude of the point of the equator and the international date line?
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
Where does longitude and latitude cross?

What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
What area do the 0 degree line of latitude and 0 degree line of longitude cross?
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the prime meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
Is the equator parallel or a meradian?
Lines of equal Latitude run parallel (ie never cross) East-West (such as the Equator) Lines of equal Longitude (Meridian) run North-South and cross at the Poles.
What is the continent or ocean where the equator and the prime meridian cross what is the latitude and longitude of that point?
-- Gulf of Guinea, south of Accra, Ghana -- Since everywhere on the equator is zero latitude, and everywhere on the Prime Meridian is zero longitude, the point that is common to both had better have the coordinates zero/zero .
What do we call the place where latitude and longitude cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
What is the latitude and longittude where the prime meridian crosses at the equator?
The Prime Meridian is defined as zero longitude, and the equator is defined as zero latitude. So the point where they cross has the coordinates: Zero, Zero. The point is in the sea, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
What line passes thru the equator?
All of the meridians of longitude cross the equator.
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart at the equator and closest together at the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge at the poles and spread apart at the equator due to the Earth's shape being an oblate spheroid.
In what island nation does the equator cross 120 degrees N latitude and 83 degrees W longitude?
This is a tough one. -- The equator can't cross any latitude. The definition of the equator is "zero latitude". -- No latitude can be greater than 90 degrees, north or south. But just the same, we'll try and spot something that this question may have had in mind. At 83° west longitude, we do have Cuba ... the main island at 22° and Isla de la Juventud at 21° north latitude. That's the only island at 83° west, except for Antarctica. At 83° east longitude, I find no islands at all except for Antarctica. At 120° west longitude: Prince Patrick Island and Banks Island, in northern Canada. At 120° east longitude: We pass within 3 miles of the coast of Taiwan, cross Luzon and several smaller islands in the Philippines. Sulawesi Island in Indonesia is on the equator at this longitude ... could that be it ? Then on to Pulau Flores and Pulau Sumba Islands also in Indonesia, across western Australia, then end in Antarctica.
