The 180 degree longitude is often miscalled international date line, when it is actually called the Anti Meridian.

The date line is not a meridian or line of longitude because it is not a straight line as it deviates to separate geographical places, certain island groups for instance.

The longitude that runs through Greenwich England is the prime meridian, which is 0 deg longitude.
