Why prime meridian called Greenwich?
The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept. The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude. The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
How do you decode game time on howrse?
There's no 'decoding' involved. Game Time is the same as Greenwich time in England, which is on the Great Meridian ( the longitude version of the equator). So for instance, if you live in the central time region of America, your time is -5:00 GMT, which means you're five hours behind Greenwich time.

What Longitude is the Canadian Prime Meridian at?
Different countries don't have different prime meridians. There is one Prime Meridian on Earth, and everybody uses the same one for their longitude measurements.

The longitude of the Prime Meridian ... by international definition and agreement ... is zero.
