Around the globe, any town has a fixed latitude/longitude coordinates, i want to know those towns with coordinde value = either (0 , fixed value ), or, ( fixed value , 0 )

Ah, I think I know what you mean? You are looking for towns that lie exactly on a line of longitude and latitude correct? Well, there are quite a few of them and it just so happens you're not the first person to ask. There is a project called the Degree Confluence Project which aims to photograph every single point where two lines meet (for instance 69°N 15°E or 45°N 90°W). If you go to the website below, you should be able to find all the towns that match your query.

I'm open to correction...
The North & South poles are at latitude 90 deg. The equator is 0 deg. The only place on the planet with a Lat/Long of 0,0 is where the prime meridian (the line of Longitude that passes through Greenwich, London) crosses the equator (in the Gulf of Guinea about 400 miles south of Ghana). The opposite side of the world is 180 deg longitude so there is only one place. To find towns with either 0 deg Lat or Long, dig out an atlas and run your finger along the equator or prime meridian.

As the question refers to either 0, fixed value or fixed value,0 you are looking at any towns on the prime meridian or the equator and I would imagine there are quite a few. either dig out an atlas or visit Google earth to do it yourself or I would imagine a gazeteer would hep as this should contain grid references for each town. If there is an online gazeteer you could use a search to find those with either longitude or latitude of 0.

There is a town in Ecuador that is famous for being on the equator (i.e. a latitude of 0 degrees). It is called "Mitad del Mundo". According to this website, it is at the (real) village of San Antonio del Pichincha. This is just outside of Quito. I have been there. According to some, the red line that is painted through this park (to mark the equator) is really out of position a little bit, but anyways, it's close. I hope that this is of use in your search of zero?

the only two places that can have a lon/lat of zero in each value must be the north and south poles.

Only at poles.In Anartica and Artica.Exact place you can see in a Globe.Purchase a Golb and study.It will be interesting.
