Which is used to measure distances in degrees from the prime medirian?
The measurement used to determine distances in degrees from the prime meridian is called longitude. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole and are measured in degrees, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees. Distances east and west of the prime meridian are expressed in degrees up to 180 degrees in either direction.
