What are the the hemispheres formed by the prime meridian and the international date line called?
Eastern and Western
The zero degree longitude line called?
This imaginary circle is called the prime meridian. it is an imaginary line that circles the globe vertically and is typically measured as beginning in Greenwich, England.
What are characteristic of meridian?
A meridian is a line of constant longitude, i.e., it's the line formed by all points on the earth's surface that have the same longitude. Every meridian joins the north and south poles, and is a semi-circle whose length is 1/2 the earth's polar circumference.
What is the two hemispheres formed by the prime meridian and the 180 meridian?
-- the eastern one -- the western one
Is the equator the only meridian that is a great circle?
The equator is a great circle. Meridians of longitude that cross over the north and south poles are also great circles. For every location on a great circle, it's antipodal location is also on the circle. Other than the equator itself, any great circle crosses the equator at two antipodal locations, 180° apart. Other than the equator and meridians of longitude that run due north and south, any great circle reaches it's maximum latitudes at two locations that are 90° of longitude east and west of the two locations where the great circle crosses the equator.Yes, since the intersecting plane that hypothetically forms the equator would cut through the center of the sphere.
