A set of latitude/longitude coordinates describes a single point, so it's not possible for
a whole island to be right exactly there.
That particular point is located on the island of Newfoundland. But it's only one of a truly
huge number that are, and all the others have different latitude/longitude coordinates.
For example, if you were headed for the capital at St. John's and you told the pilot
to drop you at 48°North/56°West, then as the sound of the propellers faded over the
horizon, you'd still have to shlep your luggage, plus the airline magazine and the souvenir
barf-bag that you lifted, a good solid 300 miles to get to St. John's.
0 degrees north is the north pole and zero degrees south is the south pole.
The coordinates 55 degrees north, 0 degrees west pinpoint a location at the Greenwich Meridian in the United Kingdom. This location is situated along the Prime Meridian, which is the starting point for measuring longitude and serves as the reference point for Universal Time (UTC).
This location is in the Falkland Islands, on West Falkland island near the town of Fox Bay East.
When the airplane takes off from 17 degrees south latitude and flies 55 degrees due north, it first crosses the equator (0 degrees latitude) and continues northward. Since it starts at 17 degrees south and moves 17 degrees to reach the equator, it has 38 degrees left to travel north (55 - 17 = 38). Therefore, the airplane reaches a latitude of 38 degrees north.
The coordinates 0 degrees north and 0 degrees west correspond to the location of Null Island, a fictional place at the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. It is used as a placeholder for erroneous geocoding data.
That corresponds to a point in the North Sea.
0 degrees east means the position is on the Greenwich meridian and is the same as 0 degrees west; 55 degress north makes that position somewhere in the North Sea, north of the UK and west of Germany.
Convert the Celsius temperature 55°C to a Kelvin temperature. Be sure to give the unit.

Antarctica is located 0 degrees north and 40 degrees east.
Genovesa is the island located at 0 degrees and 90 degrees west. It is a part of the Galapagos Islands.
The island nation located at approximately 0 degrees longitude and 5 degrees north latitude is the Republic of Ghana in West Africa. It is bordered by the Ivory Coast to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, Togo to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea to the south.
