Yes.
No, each country along a meridian can choose whatever time offset or offsets it wants. For example, the meridian at 75° East Longitude passes through the Yamalia and Khantia-Mansia Autonomous okrugs in Russia, where the time is UTC+6. Then is passes through Omsk Oblast, Russia, where the time is UTC+7. As you follow the line across the border and through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, it is again UTC+6. But then as the line goes through part of China, where it's UTC+8. From China the line goes through a piece of Pakistan, where it's UTC+5. Then it goes through India, where the offset is UTC+5:30.

What are the coordinates along the central meridian?
Well, let's see . . . . . A "meridian" is a line of constant longitude, so wherever you are on it, the longitude is always the same number. Also, a meridian of longitude is a line that stretches all the way between the north pole and the south pole, covering all possible latitudes. So the coordinates on the central meridian are: (Any latitude you want), and (The same longitude everywhere on it).
Are the prime meridian and the greenwich meridian the same?
Yes and no! The Prime Meridian is the technical term for the line of longitude (0º) which passes through Greenwich, UK.
Is 60 W or 15 E closer to prime meridian?
"60°W" is 60 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. "15°E" is 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian. If they're both at the same latitude, then "60°W" is four times as far from the Prime Meridian (in miles or km) as "15°E" is. But if they're not at any particular latitudes, then it's quite possible for "15°E" to be farther from the Prime Meridian (in miles or km) than "60°W" is.

What causes variation in time at different places on the earth?
there is a time difference between all the parts of the world as the sun revolves fromwest and that is why the time is ahead in the east and behind in the west . if a meridian passes through a place , all the places that come in the path of that meridian have the same time .the time difference is not much in between the meridian s . these regions are known as TIME ZONES .a time selected for a particular place at noon is known as that pace's LOCAL MEAN TIME
