The Greenwich Meridian of Longitude runs through which continents?
The continents that the Prime Meridian passes through are Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
How did the Prime meridian get its name?
It was chosen because, at the time England was the biggest country and superpower at the time. So the agreement was to run the prime meridian through Greenwich. It is also the closests to the middle of the earth's sphere.
What countries do the Prime Meridian Run through?
Every meridian connects the Earth's north pole and south pole. On its way, one meridian can run through any point on Earth. The definition of the Prime one is that it crosses a certain mark on the floor of a certain room at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. Once that requirement is satisfied, you have a meridian that runs through the North Greenland Sea, the Norwegian Sea, England, the English Channel, France, Spain, the western Mediterranean, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, the Gulf of Guinea, across the Equator, then the South Atlantic Ocean, and Antarctica. That line is defined as zero "longitude", and all longitudes on Earth are measured starting from it. It's also half of the boundary between the eastern and western hemispheres.
What is the line called that goes through south and north on earth?
The lines that run from pole to pole are lines of longitude. The Prime Meridian (zero) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London.
Which lines on a global grid run from pole to pole?
The lines on a global grid that run from pole to pole are called meridians of longitude. The prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, London, is the most well-known and has a longitude of 0 degrees. The meridian at 180 degrees, opposite the prime meridian, is called the International Date Line.
Does the prime meridian run through Greenwich England?
Yes, it does.
Which country does the prime meridian run through?

What does 0 degrees meridian run through?

Does 200 degrees longitude run through antarctica?
There is no 200 degrees of longitude. There is 180 degrees west of the Greenwich Meridian and 180 degrees east of the Greenwich Meridian. All degrees of longitude on earth converge at the South and North Poles.
What does the prime meridian run though?
The Prime Meridian is the line of all the points on earth whose longitude is zero. It joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, a suburb of London, England. It runs straight north-south, and also passes through Spain, France, and several countries in Africa.

What is that imaginary line call that goes to the east and wet on earth?
They are lines of longitude and run from pole to pole. The Prime Meridian (zero) runs through Greenwich Observatory, and the other lines of longitude run from the Prime Meridian to the West and to the East.
