Longitude is the angular measurement in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees; going east, your longitude is in degrees and minutes east, while going west your longitude is measured in degrees and minutes west.
A circle is 360 degrees, so the maximum longitude is 180 degrees either way. At the 180 degree line (called the "anti-meridian") the measurement is neither east nor west.
