The Greenwich Observatory in London is on the Prime Meridian, the 0o line of longitude.
The Latitude of Greenwich is 51° 28' 38" North.
The clock at the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England set the standard time (Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)) and has done for hundreds of years. The Greenwich Observatory is on the Greenwich Mean Line and initially set where 0o Latitude is.
The Greenwich Meridian is an imaginary longitude line running round the earth North, South, North at 0 degrees in the same way that the Equator is an imaginary latitude line running round the earth.
0 degrees longitude, known as the Prime Meridian is a line running from the North Pole to the South Pole that passes through Greenwich England.
The Tropic of Cancer is a parallel of latitude, roughly 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
The Equator. 0 degrees Longitude is the Greenwich Meridian.
The Latitude of Greenwich is 51° 28' 38" North.
The east hemisphere starts along the line called the Greenwich Meridian. This line is the 0 degree line for latitude.
The clock at the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England set the standard time (Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)) and has done for hundreds of years. The Greenwich Observatory is on the Greenwich Mean Line and initially set where 0o Latitude is.
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
The Greenwich Meridian is an imaginary longitude line running round the earth North, South, North at 0 degrees in the same way that the Equator is an imaginary latitude line running round the earth.
0 degrees longitude, known as the Prime Meridian is a line running from the North Pole to the South Pole that passes through Greenwich England.
AnswerIt's not the equator. The equator is a latitude line. Meridians are longitude lines. The answer you're looking for is "Greenwich meridian"or "The Prime Meridian".
The Tropic of Cancer is a parallel of latitude, roughly 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
0 degrees longitude = the Greenwich Meridian and international date line 0 degrees latitude = the Equator.
The zero line of longitude is the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian runs from pole to pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, England.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
