Is there 360 degrees of longitude on the globe?
Yes. 180 East and 180 West
Why 180 longitude are not designated east or west?
180 degrees is both east and west longitude. It doesn't matter which way you gofrom the Prime Meridian ... if you go 180 degrees, you arrive at the same longitude.
What does longitude measure going from the prime meridian?
Longitude is the angular measurement in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees; going east, your longitude is in degrees and minutes east, while going west your longitude is measured in degrees and minutes west. A circle is 360 degrees, so the maximum longitude is 180 degrees either way. At the 180 degree line (called the "anti-meridian") the measurement is neither east nor west.
What is the approximate degrees of longitude for the international date line?
The simplest answer is 180 degrees.However, it bends and weaves quite a lot by convention to avoid some islands.In fact some islands are east of the line and have a negative time zone and some are west of the line and have a positive time zone.

A longitude of 210 degrees means that you are measuring longitude from 0 to 360 degrees, which is fine, but very often people use -180 to +180 degrees, also called 180 degrees west to 180 degrees east instead. 210 degrees longitude is the same as 150 degrees west.
