No. Each longitude "line" is a half-circle, going from the north pole to the south pole. On the other side of the Earth, the "other half of the circle" has a different longitude measurement.

Longitude lines are measured east or west of the Prime Meridian, which passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.

The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
