A set of latitude/longitude numbers nails down a single point on the Earth.

The point can be located on a continent, but a whole continent can't be located

at a point.

The point 20° N / 0° is in the Sahara desert in northeast Mali, about 990 miles

north of Accra, Ghana, and 1,050 miles east of Africa's Atlantic coast.
