Where are the Prime Meridian and the International Dateline?
The Prime Meridian is the imaginary line defined as zero longitude. It joins the north and south poles and passes through England, Spain, France, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, and Antarctica. On its way through England, it crosses a certain mark on the floor of a certain room at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, outside London. The meridian of 180° longitude is exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and together, they form a complete circle. That meridian also joins the north and south pole, and passes through the Pacific Ocean for most of its length. The International Dateline roughly follows the meridian of 180° longitude, but departs from it with zigs and zags in several places, in order to avoid splitting any single state, country, or island group into two different calendar dates.
What does the prime meridian and international dateline combine to do?
Ideally, the International Date Line should be the meridian of 180° longitude. Actually, it has been zigged and zagged to avoid cutting across any island or country, since to do so would put two different calendar dates in the same country simultaneously. If the IDL coincided with the 180° meridian, then together with the Prime Meridian, it would form a great circle on the earth, passing through the north and south poles as well as through Greenwich. As it is now, the Prime Meridian, the 180° meridian, and all other meridians of longitude are semi-circles, that begin and end at the poles.

Why does the equator represent zero degrees latitude?
I believe it dates back to when the North Star was used to find latitude by ancient sailors. Degrees latitude was found by the angle between the North Star and the horizon. Since the North Star sits on the horizon at the equator the angle is zero therefore latitude is zero degrees.

On what dates is the circle of illumination exactly tangent to the Arctic Circle?
The circle of illumination intersects the North Pole on the spring and autumnal equinoxes, March 20 or 21 and September 22 or 23, when the Earth's North and South Poles are not tilted toward or away from the sun, but are both at 90 degrees to the sun's rays. The sun is directly above the equator, and every location on Earth has 12 hours of daylight.
