The longitude line measures the angle east or west of the prime meridian. If you want the actual distance you'd travel directly east or west until you hit the prime meridian, you must multiply this angle (converted to radians) by the radius of the earth, and then multiply by the cosine of the latitude angle, which gives the angle north or south of the equator.
