The Prime Meridian is the line formed from all points on Earth whose longitude is
zero, regardless of the point's latitude. So you'd expect it to have every possible
north/south position, but only one east/west position.
Drawing that on a globe, you find that the Prime Meridian is a line that joins the
north and south poles. From every point on it except the poles themselves, the
line extends north and south.
