Degrees to the left of the prime meridian are which direction?

Answer 1

That's going to depend on how you're holding your map or globe.

-- If the north pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime Meridian

mark west longitudes.

-- If the south pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime one mark

east longitudes.

-- If the north and south poles are toward the sides of the map, then the Prime Meridian

is a horizontal line between them, and there is nothing on Earth to the left or right of it.

Answer 2

That depends on which way your map is printed ... they're not all the same.

If North is at the top of your map, then EAST is to the right.

Answer 3

Meridians of longitude are marked off beginning at the Prime Meridian and numbering

in both directions. Those that lie within 180° west of the Prime Meridian are designated

"west" longitudes, and those that lie within 180° east of it are labeled "east" longitudes.

Answer 4

If your map is printed with south at the top, then lines to the right

of the Prime Meridian are meridians of west longitude.

If your map is printed with north at the top, then lines to the right

of the Prime Meridian are meridians of east longitude.

Answer 5

-- If you're standing on the Prime Meridian and facing north, then East is to your right,

and all longitudes in that direction are East longitudes.

-- If you're standing on the Prime Meridian and facing south, then West is to your right,

and all longitudes in that direction are West longitudes.

-- If you're standing on the Prime Meridian and facing east, then South is to your right.

If you're standing on the Prime Meridian and facing west, the North is to your right.

In either of these cases, everything to your right or left, everywhere between you

and the north or south pole, is at zero longitude.
