Why is the time to the east faster and the time to the west slower from the prime meridian?
The term "meridian" means "midday" or noon.The original definition of the Prime Meridian placed it at the "center" of the day, or noon, when the Sun could be determined as "directly overhead" at some point along the 0° meridian. This meant that midnight, the division between days, was at the 180° meridian, or "International Date Line", when it was noon in Greenwich. At that point, all points on the globe are marking the same calendar day.Because the Sun arrives overhead earlier east of the Prime Meridian, the time there is already after noon that day. Points west of the Prime Meridian will have their noon later that day, so they are "earlier" in the day.The terms "ante meridiem" (A.M. before noon) and "post meridiem" (P.M. after noon) follow the same convention. When it is afternoon at the Prime Meridian, a new day begins at the Date Line and "moves west" with the passing hours. Except at midnight, the Date Line will indicate a "day later" to its west than to its east.

Is the International Date Line the Prime Meridian?
No. The "Prime Meridian" (Greenwich Meridian) is 0° longitude and runs through Greenwich, England, western Europe, and Africa. The International Date Line is on the other side of the world, at 180° longitude (east or west is the same line), and marks the start of each new calendar day. It is midnight at the Date line when it is noon at the prime Meridian. The actual line has detours to accommodate Russia, the Aleutians, and New Zealand.
Why is the prime meridian line so important?
It's a reference point. The sun is highest in the sky at 12 noon. knowing that you can work out how far away from the prime meridian you are if you have an accurate clock.
