We begin to measure time at the prime meridian
The "Prime Meridian" is the zero-line of longitude, which runs through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. We measure longitude east or west from the Prime meridian.
They measure latitude & Longitude.
The Prime Meridian is zero degrees longitude.
No meridians are called the time meridian. The Greenwich meridian which passes through Greenwich, London is called the prime meridian. From which time zones are calculated.
Longitud is used to measure the distance of east and west from the prime meridian
Longitude measures the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian at Greenwich, England, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
Greenwich Mean Time or Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) is the prime meridian located at the former Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. The start of a solar day originally occurred at noon. But in 1925 the numbering system for GMT was changed, and 0000 GMT now allows the day to begin at midnight.

The meridian of time is an imaginary line that represents the prime meridian (0° longitude) from which time zones are measured. It is used as a reference point for coordinating time globally.
Meridian lines are imaginary lines that run north-south on maps and globes, helping to determine longitude. They are crucial for navigation and geographic positioning, allowing individuals to pinpoint specific locations on Earth with precision.
