The Astronomical position of Colombia, Refers to the location of that country on the land surface. To determine this location is necessary the use of coordinates, meridians and parallels that place it at a specific point on planet Earth.

Colombia extends from 12º 27'46"north latitude (that is, from Punta de Gallina on the Guajira peninsula) to 4º 13 '30"south latitude (up to the Quebrada de San Antonio).

Extends from 66 ° 50'54"to the west of the Greenwich meridian in the east (ie, from San Jose Island on the Guainia River), to 79 ° 0'23 of the aforementioned meridian, in the west Located the Cabo Manglares).

It should be noted that Colombia also has the San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina Islands, which are located at 13º 24 '03"north latitude, 81º 22' 14"west of Greenwich Meridian. It also has Malpelo Island, which is located in the Pacific Ocean.

It is possible to be said that Colombia has a terrestrial extension of 1 '141.748 km2, which places it in the fourth (4) position of the largest countries of South America, after Brazil, Argentina and Peru.

It is also considered the seventh largest country in the Americas and twenty-five (25) worldwide.

Limits of the Republic of Colombia

The astronomical position of the Republic of Colombia, locates it geographically to the Northwest of South America, on the Equatorial Zone, limiting the north with Panama and the Caribbean Sea, the east with Venezuela and Brazil, the south with Peru and Ecuador, and The west with the Pacific Ocean.

Nevertheless, its limits extend a little more, thanks to the Insular Regions that owns the Republic of Colombia. Therefore, it has maritime boundaries with the following countries: the Republic of Costa Rica, the Republic of Honduras, Jamaica, the Republic of Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti.

According to the aforementioned, it can be said that the Republic of Colombia represents a meeting point between the entire American Continent.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Astronomical Position

Advantages of the Astronomical Position of Colombia

1-It represents a point of connection between the countries of the north and the south of the American Continent, as well as with Europe and the countries of the Pacific Basin.

2-Its geographical location allows you to exit to the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic, which gives you advantage in both the trade and the military.

3-Its Island Regions allowed the establishment of the following ports: Santa Marta, Cartagena (located in the Caribbean Sea) and Buenaventura (located in the Pacific Ocean), which represent a strategic point for trade.

4-The Islands allow the development of the fishing industry. The Islands of San Andrés and Providencia, receive a great amount of tourists a year, since they have a natural attraction that they do not own others.

5-It has river trade through the Amazon basins (shared with Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guyana and Suriname) and the Orinoco basin (shared with Venezuela).

6-Because of its location it represents a confluence point for sea and air routes. In many occasions it serves as a stopover for airplanes and ships, which favors trade and transit tourism.

7-They have possibilities for the construction of new interoceanic channels, as long as they take advantage of rivers like the Atrato, belonging to the Department of Chocó.

8-It has great potential for the development of agriculture, since the geography of this country has made it possessed of different thermal floors in different territories, which makes possible the development of all types of cultivation.

9-Owns the Pacific and Amazonian Regions, also known as Amazonia. For its part, the Amazon Region is shared with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Republic of Peru, the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of Ecuador.

It is important to emphasize that the Amazon region is considered the lung of the world, because it is the largest tropical rainforest on the planet and has millions of trees and plants.

Trees and plants, through the process of photosynthesis , Help extract the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, being fixed in its leaves, trunk and roots as a carbon.

Disadvantages of the Astronomical Position of Colombia

1-It has the Pacific Region (formed by Chocó, Valle del Cauca, Nariño and Antioquia), which is considered of great importance for its strategic value, since the world trade is transported from there to the People's Republic of China.

However, Colombia has only one Port (Buenaventura) located there. Consequently, trade is limited and is not a matter for the Republic of Chile, which has nine (9) ports of great influence in World Trade.

2-The Pacific and Amazonian regions, due to their composition, make it difficult to transfer resources to the ports. Most are composed of forests and lands that have not been explored to this day.

3- The existing border conflict between the Republic of Colombia and the Republic of Nicaragua provokes constant legal disputes.

Nicaragua demands that the maritime boundaries be re-established, since it considers that part of the jurisdiction that Colombia has in the Caribbean Sea belongs to that country.

It is important to note that in a ruling handed down by the International Court of Justice in 2012, the maritime border is redefined, with Nicaragua gaining more territory in the Caribbean Sea.

This situation generated discontent in the Republic of Colombia, which led to the departure of the Pact of Bogota, which recognizes the Court's Jurisdiction in the specific matter.

This situation continues until the day, which means that Colombia has to be solving legal lawsuits, in order to maintain its border boundaries.
