Is Accra located on the prime meridian?
Not exactly, but quite close. The northern end of Runway-21 at Kotoka International Airport in Accra is located at 5.61538° north latitude 0.16299° west longitude, which places it about 18.1 km west of the nearest point on the Prime Meridian. To put a somewhat finer point on it, the east wall of the Meridian Hotel in the Ghanaian town of Tema is about 77 meters west of the Prime Meridian.
What line divides the earth into the eastern and western hemisphere?
The Greenwich Meridian, aka The Prime Meridian, is the zero meridian. On the opposite site of the Prime Meridian there is the 180 degrees meridian.Anything from the 180 degrees to Greenwich is the Eastern hemisphere and from the Greenwich to the 180 degree the Western Hemisphere.The Prime Meridian.The Prime Meridian - which runs through the town of Greenwich, in England.western hemispherewhat are three tipes of regions into which the Western Hemisphere can be dividedThe Greenwich meridian divides the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres.EquatorThe prime meridian!

What does the prime meridian and international dateline combine to do?
Ideally, the International Date Line should be the meridian of 180° longitude. Actually, it has been zigged and zagged to avoid cutting across any island or country, since to do so would put two different calendar dates in the same country simultaneously. If the IDL coincided with the 180° meridian, then together with the Prime Meridian, it would form a great circle on the earth, passing through the north and south poles as well as through Greenwich. As it is now, the Prime Meridian, the 180° meridian, and all other meridians of longitude are semi-circles, that begin and end at the poles.
What hemisphere is Moracco on?
officially, Morocco is in the Northern Hemisphere because it is north of the equator. It is also west of the Prime Meridian, so that would officially put it in the Western Hemisphere.
Where are you if your longitude is 0?
You're somewhere on the Prime Meridian ... the line between the north pole and the south pole through Greenwich UK. If we also knew our latitude, we could put a much finer point on it.
Why is the prime merdian located where it is?
Nevil Maskelyne, was a British astronomer from 1765 to 1811. He put forth the concept of using the distance to the moon as a way to measure longitude. His calculations were made at the Greenwich Observatory. As a result, Greenwich was adopted as the Prime Meridian in 1884.
How do you put antemeridian in a complex sentence?

What do all geographers have in common?

Is longitude up or down?
Longitude is up and down latitude goes left and right . Hope this helped.==============================To put a finer point on it:The answer to that question depends on how you hold your mapor mount your globe.The longitude of any place is the angle east or west between thatplace and the Prime Meridian.
When you cross the prime meridian does the date become earlier of later?
no.it's just an imaginary line through Greenwich, England, right in the middle of a time zone. Of course, if you are travelling from France to England, depending on your route, you may have to cross the Prime Meridian. The standard time zone for Engalnd is UTC +/- 0. The standard time zone for France is UTC +1. So if you leave France from Le Havre and travel in a straight line to Brighton, England, then, at some point of your journey, in the middle of La Manche (the English Channel) you will cross the Prime Meridian. Maybe this would be a good point at which to put your watch back one hour so that when you arrive in England, your watch will show the correct time for the UK time zone! However, the time adjustment is necessary because you will have moved into a different time zone, not because you have crossed the Prime Meridian!For the same reasons, a similar 'time' adjustment will be necessary when travelling between other some other places. For example, a trip between Norway (UTC +1) and Scotland (UTC +/- 0) takes the traveller into different time zones, and, coincidently, the route has to cross the Prime Meridian as well! (Unless you go the long way round!)
If you started at the prime meridian on the equator and traveled 690 miles to the east and then turned around and traveled 207 miles to the west at what line of longitude would you be?
You would be at 60 degrees west longitude. The prime meridian is located at 0 degrees longitude, so traveling 690 miles to the east would put you at 60 degrees west longitude. Turning around and traveling 207 miles to the west brings you back to 0 degrees.
