Greenwich is a place in England. If you look at a map, places to the left are west of Greenwich and places to the right are east. A meridian is any line which runs from north pole to south pole and the meridian that runs through Greenwich is called the Greenwich Meridian and by definition is zero degrees. All other meridians are measured in degrees from zero. E.g. New York is -74 degrees, meaning it's west of Greenwich by 74 degrees.
