Wouldn't that kind of depend on where you're coming from, and on the route you choose
to take you to Moscow ?
The Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), and that leads to some weird results:
-- No matter how far you are from Moscow, you can always get there without crossing
the Prime Meridian if you want to.
-- No matter how close you are to Moscow when you start out, you can always cross
the Prime Meridian on the way there if you want to.
No. A meridian goes north to south, not east to west.
The center of Moscow is located roughly 37.59° east of the Prime Meridian.
No. Nothing can be both east and west of the Prime Meridian.Stockholm is a city in Sweden, and all of Sweden is east of the Prime Meridian.
This is called the Prime meridian, it passes through Greenwich, England.
Both the equator and prime meridian are halfway points across the Earth. The equator splits the Earth's Northern and Southern Hemispheres horizontally (latitude). The prime meridian splits the Earth's Eastern and Western Hemispheres vertically (longitude).
They are measured east and west of the Prime Meridian. They run north-south across the globe from the North Pole to the South Pole.

The prime meridian itself does not directly help tell time. Rather, time zones are determined based on their distance east or west from the prime meridian, with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) being the time at the prime meridian. This system helps standardize timekeeping across the world.
The 180th meridian is on the other side, and the International Date Line generally follows the 180th meridian. (The Prime Meridian is the 0th meridian, with there being 360 lines of longitude across the globe)
The prime meridian is at all latitudes.
There is only a single Prime Meridian.
