The location at 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude, where the Equator and the Prime Meridian intersect, is nearest the continent of Africa. Specifically, it is situated in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of Ghana. This point is often referred to as "Null Island," although there is no actual island there, just deep ocean water.
The location at 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude, where the equator and the Prime Meridian intersect, is nearest to the continent of Africa. Specifically, it is situated in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of West Africa, and is relatively close to countries like Ghana and Gabon. This point is often referred to as "Null Island," although it is not an island in the traditional sense.
The continent at 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude (the intersection of the equator and prime meridian) is Africa. The point is located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Ghana and Liberia.
There's no continent there. That point is in the Indian Ocean, about 80 miles east of the coast of Madagascar. The nearest continent is Africa, but I wouldn't want to have to swim it.
Yes, parts of south India are near the equator but most of the region is situated slightly north of the equator. The southernmost point of mainland India, Kanyakumari, is approximately 8 degrees north of the equator.

The Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect in the sea off the west African coast. So the continent is Africa and, according to Google, it is off the Ivory Coast/Gabon.
From South Africa, travelling westerly along the 30 degrees line of latitude, the nearest continent is the east coast of South America.

There is no city at that location. The nearest is Xiongxian, in the Hebei province of China.
You are probably thinking of latitude, which shows distance from the equator as the angle subtended by the arc between the place and the nearest point on the equator. For instance, the latitude of London, United Kingdom, is 51.5 degrees N.
The nearest continent to the Philippines is Asia.
90 degrees south latitude is the precise location of the South Pole. The South Pole is in Antarctica, a continent of quite some size. It contains no oceans. The South Atlantic runs from the Equator to about 77 degrees south and from 20 degrees east to 65 degrees west
Antarctica is a continent. The nearest continent to it is South America.
