That's like asking "What is the next distance greater than 47.3 miles ?",
or "What is the next heavier weight after 1851/4 pounds ?"
There is no minimum-size "step". The "next" one can be as close to 45 degrees as
you want it to be. And no matter how close it is, somebody can always come along
and slip one in that's even closer.
There is no standard set of "lines" of latitude or longitude. That's definitely the
biggest, most universal misconception we see in this category of questions.

If you start at 45 degrees and travel west, you can reach any meridian at all.
The west of the Indian Ocean
The missing word is "degrees".When it is noon at a point on a meridian it is 2 hours earlier 30 degrees to the west of the meridian?
There is a one hour difference for each 15 degrees of longitude, thus 45 degrees west of California is 3 hours earlier than the time in California. Example: 8 PM in Cal = 5 PM "out there" 45 degrees west.
Halfway between the Prime Meridian and 80 degrees west has to be pretty close to 40 degrees west, we'd say.
Longitude is the angular measurement in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees; going east, your longitude is in degrees and minutes east, while going west your longitude is measured in degrees and minutes west. A circle is 360 degrees, so the maximum longitude is 180 degrees either way. At the 180 degree line (called the "anti-meridian") the measurement is neither east nor west.
A location at 30 degrees south and 45 degrees east is in the southern and eastern hemispheres, and it is east of the prime meridian.

All of them are.
It is neither. The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. All other meridians are measured from this. East or west to 180 degrees.
