Best Answer

All of the longitude "lines" merge at the north and south poles, so you might say that they 'start' at one of these points and end at the other one.

If the question means to ask: "Where is the line of zero longitude ?", then the answer is:

The origin of longitude is defined as the Prime Meridian, an imaginary line between the north and south poles that passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
