prime meridian
The equator.
The central latitudinal line is the Equator, which is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The central longitudinal line is the Prime Meridian, situated at 0 degrees longitude, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Together, these lines serve as reference points for geographic coordinate systems.
The imaginary line at 0 degrees latitude is called the equator.
The International Date Line runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).

the Prime meridian is a longitudinal line at 0 degrees and runs north and south. There is no 180 degrees below or above it. 180 degrees latitude doesn't exist. Latitudes range from 90 degrees south, at the south pole, through zero, at the equator, to 90 degrees north, at the north pole. There are no latitude numbers greater than 90.
