the prime meridian
Which reference point established by scientists could be changed the equator or the prime meridian?
The equator is a fixed point of reference for the traversal of the sun and is the midpoint between the two tropics. The prime meridian, however, is a relative point based on time, which could be adjusted if the need arose.
Where is the prime meridian and the equator located?
-- The Prime Meridian is the imaginary line on the Earth that joins the north and south poles, and passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, just east of London., -- The equator is the imaginary line on the Earth that contains every point located at equal distances from the north and south poles.
