the reason that the prime meridian is so important is because it is the very center of the earth and it is how we determine are latitude
The prime meridian runs north and south through England, so most of Europe is EAST of the prime meridian.
The Prime Meridian runs through London so England is on the east and the west of it.
This is called the Prime meridian, it passes through Greenwich, England.
The north and south poles are the two endsof the Prime Meridian. So they're both on it.
The prime meridian (designated as zero) runs from pole to pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines of longitude to the east of the prime meridian are so many degrees east, and to the west of the Prime Meridian are so many degrees west.
Los Angeles is on the western side of the prime meridian. The whole U.S. is in the western hemisphere, therefore all of the U.S. is on the west side of the prime meridian. :)
The Prime Meridian passes through France, so France is on both sides of it.Even if the Prime Meridian does not pass through a country, like the USA for example,the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), so you can leave the Prime Meridian inany direction you want to, and wind up anywhere you want to.
