Longitude measures the angle east and west from the prime meridian rangimg from -180 to +180. Positive longitude values are in the eastern hemisphere and negative longitude is in the western hemisphere. Of special note is the 180th parallel line which is both -180 and +180 and also closely aligned to the International Date Line.
