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 line of longitude would be 180 degrees away from the prime meridian?
The 180th meridian or antimeridian is the meridian which is 180° east or west of the Prime Meridian ... It is common to both east longitude and west longitude. It runs through the Pacific Ocean, and was the nominal guideline for the position of the International Dateline, although the dateline itself had to depart from the antimeridian in several places.
Is Vietnam is east or west prime meridian?
It depends on the connotation of Prime Meridian. Although there are a number of meridians defined as prime meridians, the Greenwich Meridian was established as the international prime meridian in 1884 and is at 0 degrees longitude. The opposite is 180 degrees longitude. Vietnam is located between 100 and 110 degrees east longitude and between 0 and 25 degrees north latitude. To locate Vietnam using west longitudinal reference it would be between 250 and 260 degrees west longitude. Since the distance from the prime latitude to Vietnam is shorter in the eastward direction than the westward direction it would be considered east of prime meridian.
