The prime meridian is the line that passes through Greenwich, England - it 'splits' the Earth into the Eastern and Western hemispheres - and is the line by which all time zones around the planet are measured from.
The Prime Meridian
The meridian exactly halfway around the world from the prime meridian is called the 180th meridian or the antimeridian. This line represents the opposite side of the Earth from the prime meridian and is where the International Date Line is located.
The meridian of time is an imaginary line that represents the prime meridian (0° longitude) from which time zones are measured. It is used as a reference point for coordinating time globally.

The Greenwich Meridian is also known as the Prime Meridian. It represents zero degrees longitude, although it was chosen arbitrarily as the zero marker.
Italy is located entirely to the east of the prime meridian, which runs through Greenwich, London. The distance from Italy to the prime meridian varies depending on the specific location within Italy, but the westernmost point, in Liguria, is approximately 8 degrees east of the prime meridian. Since each degree of longitude represents about 69 miles (111 kilometers) at the equator, this places Italy roughly 552 miles (889 kilometers) away from the prime meridian at its closest point.
There is only a single Prime Meridian.
The prime meridian is at all latitudes.
