5 degrees south latitude and 60 degrees west longitude. What city is this?

To determine geographic coordinates, you need a map and a degree grid on it. We are looking for latitude by parallels (remember that the main parallel is the equator 0 °). Next, we define the pole: the South Pole is always below the equator, the North Pole is above the equator. It follows from this that 5 ° S lat. you need to look under the equator. We look for longitude along the meridians (remember that the Greenwich meridian is 0 °). Finding out the hemisphere: the Western hemisphere is to the left of the prime meridian, and the Eastern hemisphere is to the right of the prime meridian. From this it follows that 60 ° W should be sought to the left of the prime meridian.

We are looking for the point of intersection of the parallel 5 ° and the meridian 60 °. This is Novu Aripuanan in Brazil.
