No. It is located halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.

The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, not latitude, and runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.

No, The Equator is located halfway between the North and South Poles. Thus dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The Prime Meridian and its counterpart, The International Date Line while dividing the Earth into it's Eastern and Western hemispheres runs vertical to the Equator.

Think of a ball with a line around the middle, that is the Equator, now think of the exactly same ball with a line running from its top to the bottom and back up the reverse of it, that line is the Prime Meridian and International Date Line.
