What is the line of longitude that begins at Greenwich England?

The line of longitude that begins at Greenwich, England is known as the Prime Meridian. It is defined as 0 degrees longitude and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude around the globe.


Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?

-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)


Not all lines of longitude are shown on a globe. If you want to find 20 and degW where should you look?

To find 20 degrees West longitude on a globe, look for the line that runs vertically, crossing the equator at 20 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. This line will be positioned to the west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees longitude. You may need to rotate the globe to see the specific line that corresponds to 20 degrees West.
