Is Peru south of the equator?
Peru is a country on the central western coast of South America facing the Pacific Ocean. It lies wholly in the Southern Hemisphere, its northernmost extreme reaching to 1.8 minutes of latitude or about 3.3 kilometres (2.1 mi) south of the equator.

Are there any cities in the world that are 50 degrees west?
Seriously, check the map! The only non-Brazilian place at 50 degrees West is the tiny and remote Qaqortoq, Greenland. Locations in the North and South are best known for their extremes. The poles are each covered in snow year round, so expect cold temperatures in these cities to the far North and South.
How many degrees north is the 60th parallel?
The 60th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 60 degrees north of Earth’s equator. It crosses Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean. Although it lies approximately twice as far away from the Equator as from the North Pole, the 60th parallel is half as long as the Equator line.
How are degrees of longitude divided into 60 minutes?
Degrees of longitude are divided into 60 minutes. Each minute of longitude can be further divided into 60 seconds. For example, the longitude of Paris, France, is 2° 29′ E (2 degrees, 29 minutes east).
Which is the number of degrees north or south of the equator?
Latitude is the number of degrees north or south of the equator, the imaginary line that runs horizontally through the Earth. Longitude is the number of degrees east or west of the prime meridian, an even more imaginary line because it was made up. Stand up and imagine your feet represent an exact point on Earth. Do you know which way North is?
