The city with latitude and longitude as prime numbers is Honolulu, Hawaii. Its latitude is approximately 21.3° N, which is a prime number, and its longitude is approximately 157.8° W, which is also a prime number.
Every point on Earth has 1 longitude number and 1 latitude number. The center of Mexico City is located at roughly 19.44° north latitude 99.13° west longitude.
You can be positive that there aren't any. No latitude can be a number bigger than 90 degrees. "90 north latitude" is the north pole, and you can't be any norther than that.
-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
Longitude is the number of degrees east or west along a line of latitude from the prime meridian.
As you know, the latitude number must be further clarified as 'north' or 'south' latitude, and the longitude number must be further clarified as 'east' or 'west' longitude. But when you do that, it's hard for a computer to read the information ... which has become a pretty important consideration now. So nowadays, it's common to see latitude written as ' + ' for north and ' - ' for south, and longitude written as ' + ' for east and ' - ' for west. Computers understand the difference between positive and negative numbers very well, and this makes it easier all around.
-- The place where a latitude intersects a longitude is a point, not a line. -- There are an infinite number of different longitudes, and each latitude intersects all of them. -- There are an infinite number of different latitudes, and each longitude intersects all of them. -- So you can see that there are a truly huge number of intersections. In fact, every point on Earth is an intersection of one latitude and one longitude, and no two points on Earth are the same intersection. On account of all that, there are no names.
A point can be in a country, but a whole country can't be at one point. That point is in Argentina. There are also an infinite number of points in Argentina that have different coordinates.
The latitude is approximately 10 degrees North (it can vary a few degrees in certain areas). Latitude is 0-359 degrees (the earth is round after all). I meant longitude for 0-359 degrees.
If you give me accurate and precise numbers for the latitude and longitude of a point on the surface of the earth, I can use those numbers to go to the right place, and stick a pin in the ground within an inch of the exact spot.
The greatest possible longitude is 180 degrees.That meridian crosses territory inRussiathe USATuvaluKiribatiFiji(It also crosses Antarctica, but there are no countries there.)
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
