Longitude lines are the vertical lines on a map or globe that converge at the poles and are widest at the equator. The numbering of the lines starts at Greenwich, England with 00. It is called the prime meridian. From there, they go 1800 east and 1800 west, for a total of 360 degrees. They meet and form the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean.

When listing the location of a place the degree. of longitude is always listed?
The longitude is typically listed second, after the latitude. Except for computer input, though, it's not a hard and fast rule. Where the coordinates are to be read by a human being, it makes absolutely no difference which coordinate you list first, just as long as you clearly indicate which number is the latitude and which one is the longitude.
