∙ 13y agoThe Prime Meridian is the name often given to the 0o line passing through Greenwich. It is the start point for the lines of longitude.
The Equator is the 0o line for latitude, and the N and S poles are at 90o.

The equator is the main line of latitude at 0 degrees
However there are 4 others:
-Tropic of Cancer (23.50N)
-Arctic Circle (66.50N)
-Tropic of Capricorn (23.50S)
-Antarctic Circle (66.50S)
