Because that's its definition.
When the scale of latitude was invented, zero could have been placed anywhere.
For example, the south pole might have been defined as the zero, and latitudes
on earth would range from zero up to 180° at the north pole. But instead, it was
decided to put zero in the middle, and call the south latitudes negative and the
north ones positive.

Zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian (which is in Greenwich).
No. It's zero degrees latitude.
