No, zero latitude is on the equator. NYC is at 40.7 North
All of the latitudes on a New York State map are north because latitude lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees. New York is located in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning all its latitudinal coordinates are expressed as degrees north of the Equator. Therefore, any latitude associated with New York State will have a north designation.
Kowloon is located south of New Territories, just north of Hong Kong Island. Latitude: 22°19′0″N Longitude: 114°11′0″E
the line 0 degrees latitude is called the
The Equator
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and does not have a fixed longitude. It circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to list the coordinates at the center of its dome, because New York is one of the few states whose Capitol doesn't have one. The center of the circular fountain on the west side of the Capitol building is located at 42.6532° north latitude 73.7584° west longitude. Other spots around Albany have somewhat different coordinates.
The 0 line of latitude is called the Equator and is located equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole.
Antarctica is located 0 degrees north and 40 degrees east.
The line of latitude located at 0 degrees is the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude.
The equator is located at 0 latitude. Fullstop. Being a parallel it spans the whole range in longitude, from 0 to 180 and back again.
That is the center of the coordinate system, which uses latitude and longitude.
