The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees, the international date line is not. There is only one prime meridian, there are many international date line.

∙ 13y agoNo it is not!! The international date line is longitudinal ( north to south ) line that runs through the Pacific Ocean. The equator is a lattitudinal line ( east and west ) that divides the northern and southern hemispheres.

∙ 11y agoMost of the international date line is perpendicular to the equator. The equator's direction is due west/ due east, while the international date line is mostly north/ south.
The international date line is zig-zagged so that it doesn't intersect any land areas, but the equator goes straight through both continents and oceans.
The international date line extends halfway (180°) around the world; the equator completely circles the earth (360°).

What is the Distance bet ween the equator and international date line?
The equator and the International dateline cross. the distance between a point on one and a point on the other can be anywhere between zero and about 6,214 miles.
What body of water bisects both the equator and the international dateline?
Both the equator and the International date line cross through the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the point where these two lines meet is in this body of water.
What is the special lines in globe?
The main ones running horozontal are- Equator(round the middle), the line caprican, the line of cancer. the horozontal one is the international dateline.
Why there is a difference in absorbed and emitted radiation in equatorial and polar areas?
There is a difference between poles and equator. It is because depletion is minimum at equator.
Does the international dateline pass through the tropic of cancer or tropic of Capricorn?
Yes. It crosses the Prime Meridian. The other two lines mentioned are both parallel to the equator, and to each other.

What is the hemisphire?
A hemisphere is a section of the Earth located north/south or between two major lines of latitude or longitude. The Northern Hemisphere is located north of the Equator. The Southern Hemisphere is located south of the Equator. The Western Hemisphere is located west of the Prime Meridian and east of the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is located east of the Prime Meridian and west of the International Dateline.

What 2 ways is the hemisphere divided?
The globe is divided into the northern and southern hemisphere (divide by the equator) , and the eastern and western hemisphere (divided by the International Dateline).
