How many degrees of longitude each side of the prime meridian?
Starting from the Prime Meridian and going either east or west, you'll cover 360 degrees of longitude before you find yourself back at the Prime Meridian again. Half-way around a sphere corresponds to 180 degrees. If you and your friend both start out from the Prime Meridian, and one of you travels east around the globe and the other travels west around the globe, you'll eventually meet each other. If you both travel exactly the same distance, then you each cover 180 degrees of longitude, and you meet exactly on the other side opposite the Prime Meridian, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, at 180 degrees longitude, both east and west.

What is the latitude and longitude at source of the Huang He river?
According to China Exploration and Research Society (www.cers.org.hk), the Huang He source is 34 29 31.1N, 96 20 24.6E (2008). This is different from the source originally identified in the mid 1980s, before the availability of high resolution satellite images. The Wiki page on Yellow River geography has been edited to include this longitude and latitude.

What is distance measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian is defined as zero degrees of longitude. The distance in miles between degrees of longitude depends on the latitude; one degree of longitude equals the cosine of the latitude * 60 nautical miles. Note: If you're using Excel or some other spreadsheet program, be sure to convert degrees into radians before calculating the cosine of the latitude.

Why is greenwich england inportant to a geographer?
Because 0 degrees longitude passes through Greenwich - which is a suburb of southeast London. All other lines of longitude are either east or west of Greenwich. All of the worlds time is also measured as being either before or after GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
When listing the location of a place the degrees of longitude is always listed blank?
Even before filling in the blank, we can tell you that the resulting statement would be untrue. While it may well be true that longitude is traditionally listed last, it's not a hard and fast rule, and no harm comes from listing it first. As long as latitude and longitude are clearly identified to avoid any confusion, they may be listed in either order.
