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

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.


Why does equator two hemispheres when the prime meridian does not?

Actually, the equator divides the Earth in North and South hemisphers. And is not a subjective "cut" of the Earth. South from the Equator, the polarity of the Earth is reversed from the northern hemisphere. (Water goes down in a sink from right to left in the north and from left to right in the south) While the prime meridian is a virtual and subjective line created just to be a time reference. But there is no "physical" difference between the East and the West. The Prime meridian could be any parallel lines linking north Pole to South pole.

What is the right and left lines of a globe?

"... the right and left lines of a globe?" I assume the reference is to the lines of longitude? The Prime Meridian is zero longitude which is a line that passed through the Greenwich observatory, London, England. To the left is west. To the right is east.
