A+ International Date Line
The 180th meridian is also known as the International Date Line. This imaginary line determines the change in calendar date when crossing it from east to west.
No, the prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) defines the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The 180th meridian (opposite of the prime meridian) is the International Date Line, which primarily serves as the line where one day ends and another begins.
The hemispheres of Earth are divided by the Equator into Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and by the Prime Meridian and the 180th meridian into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
The prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the 180th meridian both divide the eastern and western hemispheres.
The Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) is the line that separates the eastern and western hemispheres. It runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through Greenwich, London. Additionally, the 180th meridian, also known as the International Date Line, separates one calendar day from another and further divides the eastern and western hemispheres.

The 180th meridian is on the other side, and the International Date Line generally follows the 180th meridian. (The Prime Meridian is the 0th meridian, with there being 360 lines of longitude across the globe)
180th meridian
