这些地图探索了一个有趣的地理概念：根据纬度比较全球城市。它们由Beardsley Klamm等来源和Reddit用户havedal创建，将北美城市叠加到欧洲，反之亦然，揭示了令人惊讶的对应关系。例如，迈阿密与埃及拥有相同的纬度，而底特律如果放在欧洲，将位于保加利亚。该项目还延伸到比较欧洲首都与南北半球的城市，甚至将北美城市与澳大利亚的城市进行对比。一个关键的发现是，许多美国城市比位于相同纬度的欧洲城市更靠南。虽然这些地图突出了地理关系，但重要的是要记住纬度并不决定气候——提供了一个资源来比较全球气候。

这个Hacker News讨论围绕vividmaps.com对欧洲和美国纬度的比较展开，引发了关于气候因素超越纬度的讨论。用户指出像墨西哥湾暖流这样的洋流的显著影响，并对它的具体影响与整体海洋邻近性和盛行风向存在一些争论。讨论延伸到气候预测的挑战、气候政策的影响（尤其是在爱尔兰），以及夏令时的复杂性。许多评论者分享个人经历，强调地理位置遥远但纬度相似的地区之间的气候相似性（例如，悉尼和开普敦，旧金山和波尔图）。最后，该帖子涉及不同地区太阳能的可行性，并为德国出人意料的强大太阳能产业辩护，同时也表达了对储能和太阳能电池板生命周期的担忧。整体基调是探究性和观察性的，探索气候和地理的细微差别。

Have you ever wondered which cities or countries share the same latitude as your location? The atlas of the maps below will provide the answers to your question.

The first map shows the territory of the United States compared to Europe at the same latitudes.

USA compared to Europe at same latitudes

On the map, you can observe that Miami shares the same latitude as Egypt, San Diego aligns with Morocco, and if Detroit were in Europe, it would be located in southern Bulgaria. Similarly, New York City and Washington D.C. would find their counterparts in Turkey.

The map depicting the U.S. with Canada at the same latitudes as Europe is available here.

Here are similar maps created by Beardsley Klamm comparing the latitude of North America with Europe, featuring latitude lines.

Overlay of European Cities onto North America

Below is the animated version of the map.

Let’s try to overlay more European cities in North America.

The map below created by Reddit user havedal shows major cities in North America were replaced by major cities across the Atlantic ocean by latitude.

Now it was the turn to overlay the American cities on the map of Europe.

Here is the map of the capital cities of Europe replaced with the largest city in North America by latitude.

Now let’s look at the latitudes at which the capitals of European countries are located and find cities in the world that are at the same latitude.

Here is the map of European capitals renamed to city names on the same latitude.

On the map below, in black marked cities of the northern hemisphere, located at the same latitude as the capitals of European countries, in blue marked cities of the southern hemisphere.

As you can see from the maps, many American cities are located much farther south than European cities. Therefore, it is no less interesting to compare the geographic latitude of American cities with that of Australian cities.

This map shows North American and Australian cities overlaid at equivalent latitude.

Keep in mind that not all cities located at the same latitude have the same climate. You can compare the climate of all the cities in the world here.
