The zero degrees longitude line is called the Prime Meridian. When the Prime Meridian is combined with the meridian of 180 degrees longitude, the two meridians together form a circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The name given to the imaginary line of zero longitude on the earth's surface is the "Prime Meridian" or "Greenwich Meridian". It's a line that joins the North and South Poles, and crosses a spot on the floor of the room that houses the zenith telescope at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, England. As it runs through Greenwich (the observatory site), it is also called the Greenwich Meridian.

Time is often expressed in terms of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is related to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
