The north pole
The longitude line that passes through Greenwich, England is the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude). It is the starting point for measuring longitude around the globe.
You mean latitude and longitude?
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.
-- 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.)
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.

If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that haveexactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude.
If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that haveexactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude.
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north pole and south pole.
The lines of longitude and the lines of latitude are on the globe if you look! Our expedition will follow a line of longitude.
depends on the globe you look at
Longitude lines measure how far (in degrees) you are East or West of the Prime Meridian (which is a longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England and is designated as 0° longitude).
The longitude line that passes through Greenwich, England is the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude). It is the starting point for measuring longitude around the globe.

That completely depends on what line it's opposite from.
Meridians - or lines of longitude.
The middle line of longitude is the Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude. It is the starting point for measuring east and west distances around the globe.
