On a globe, draw the shortest line you possibly can between the north pole and

south pole, and make sure it passes through Greenwich, a suburb of London in

England.

You can make sure it's the shortest possible line by stretching a rubber band

between the north and south poles of the globe. The rubber band will just

naturally keep pulling itself shorter and shorter until it can't get any shorter.

When it goes through London, the whole length of the rubber band is very close

to the Prime Meridian.
