Is Australia east of west of of the prime meridian?

Answer 1

Since the earth is shaped like a sphere (a ball), you can get anywhere you want

to be by going either direction from the Prime Meridian. In the case of Australia,

the trip will a little shorter if you head to the east.

Answer 2

Since the earth is a sphere (ball), you can always reach your destination in either one

of two opposite directions. From the Prime Meridian, you can reach Canada by going

either east or west, whichever way you're leaning that day. Should you decide to choose

the westerly direction, your trip will be a lot shorter.

Answer 3

Just like every other point on earth, you can get there from either direction,

because the earth is a sphere (a ball).

To get to Australia from points on the International Date Line, your trip will be shorter

if you go west.
