North Pole to South Pole through Greenwich, England
The equator runs West-East and the prime meridian (Greenwich meridian) runs North-South.
Since the earth is a sphere (ball), you can reach my house going east or westfrom the Prime Meridian. But it's a much shorter trip if you go west.
east
the prime meridian runs north and south. it perfectly intersects the equator that runs west and east.
West
it is 180° longitudinally
North - south
=well, i belive it is east !=
West
Almost but not quite all of Asia is east of the Prime Meridian, and almost but not quite all of it is north of the equator.
No. Argentina is in South America, an ocean away from the Prime Meridian.
The Earth is roughly spherical (shaped like a ball), so you can start out in either direction from the Prime Meridian and eventually be in China ... that was sort of the whole idea behind Columbus' voyage. But you'll still have a shorter trip if you head out toward the east.
