The lines that measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian are called lines of longitude. The Prime Meridian itself is located at 0 degrees longitude, with lines extending eastward to 180 degrees east and westward to 180 degrees west. These lines help determine geographical locations on the Earth's surface in relation to the Prime Meridian.
What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
Distance east and west from the prime meridian?
The distance east or west from the Prime Meridian is measured in degrees, with 360 degrees in a full circle representing the Earth's circumference. The Prime Meridian itself is set at 0 degrees longitude, so any location east of it will have a positive longitude value, while any location west of it will have a negative longitude value.
