What meridian is the farthest from the prime meridian?

Answer 1

The furthest point from the prime meridian is the point in the Pacific Ocean where the 180th meridian crosses the equator. It's about 485 miles east-southeast of Tarawa, and about 2,100 miles southwest of Honolulu. The distance from there to various points on the Prime Meridian ranges between roughly 6,200 - 12,400 miles.

My candidate for that honor is Tarawa, the national capital of Kiribati, in the Pacific.

It's located about 1.4 degrees north of the equator, and about 173.1 degrees east longitude.
The point on the Prime Meridian that's farthest from Tarawa is about 475 miles south of Accra,
Ghana, in the Gulf Of Guinea. The distance is roughly approximately about 11,966.27 miles .
