  • Identifying a Location: Latitude & Longitude Explained
    That's a tricky one! You've got the latitude and longitude coordinates mixed up. Latitude lines run horizontally, measuring distance north or south of the equator. Longitude lines run vertically, measuring distance east or west of the prime meridian.

    To give you a better answer, could you please double-check your coordinates? Do you mean:

    * 20° North Latitude and 20° East Longitude? This location would be in Africa.

    * 20° East Longitude and 20° North Latitude? This location would also be in Africa.

    Let me know the correct coordinates, and I can tell you the continent!
