Well, kind of.... The Prime Meridian by definition is 0 degrees. The world is divided into two parts: zero through 180 West Longitude, and zero through 180 East Longitude. { The world is 360 degrees around; 180 plus 180 =360.} Half of 180 = 90, so 90 would be one quarter of the way around. 77 degrees west would be just under 1/4 of the way around so, yeah, its kind of close to the Prime Meridian, but not really close-close. {Compared to, say, 10 degrees west.} Got it? If not, contact the link below for the person who first answered this question and I'll try to help you understand.
