The prime meridian does not meet. It starts at the north pole and ends at the south pole, passing through Greenwich, London. At the poles it becomes the anti-meridian or the international date line

The Prime Meridian meets all other meridians at the north pole and at the south pole.
In between, it meets and crosses, every parallel of latitude.

∙ 12y agoThe Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that's about 12,400 miles (19,970 km) long,
and joins the north and south poles.
It crosses the equator in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.

What and the Prime meridian meet at 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
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.
The Prime Meridian in Arctic Circle meet in what sea?
The Norwegian sea.
Where does the Tropic of cancer meet the Tropic of Capricorn?
The Prime Meridian crosses the Tropic of Cancer in southwestern Algeria about 150 miles east of Mali in Africa.
Does the point where the prime meridian and equator meet have a special name?
Not it does not have a name. It's simply a a coordinate. The point where the equator and 180 degrees meet also does not have a name.

At what longitude does the prime median and the International Date line meet?
The Prime Meridian is the line that marks all points at Zero longitude. TheInternational Dateline roughly follows the meridian of 180° longitude. Sincethose two lines mark different longitudes, the only place where they can meetwould be a place where all longitudes come together. Fortunately, there aretwo of those on Earth . . . the north and south poles.They meet at 90° north latitude and at 90° south latitude.
What is the term for where the equator and prime meridian meet?
My teacher called it the prime origin. That is a sailors' term for it that isn't in the encyclopedia, but it is an actual term.
The Prime Meridian and the Arctic Circle meet in what sea?

What are the names of the latitudinal and longitudinal lines at 0?
The Equator is zero latitude. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude. They meet in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of western Africa.
Does the point where the prime meridian and equator meet have a special name?
Not it does not have a name. It's simply a a coordinate. The point where the equator and 180 degrees meet also does not have a name.
Do equator and prime meridian meet over water or over land?
Over Water, the equator and prime meridian meet over the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic ocean a few hundred kilometers off the coast of Africa, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 650 miles west of Libreville, Gabon. Also the international date line (180 meridian) and the equator meet over water, near the Phoenix islands in the Pacific.
