In bodies of the solar system other than Earth how do you establish a starting point for the meridian lines?
The Prime Meridian on Earth is nothing special; there is no uniquely useful point of reference. The Prime Meridian is where it is because it goes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England - and they were the guys who decided it. On other planets, such as Mars, astronomers or planetographers will choose some reference point for their own reasons, and henceforth, that will be the "prime meridian" of that planet. When humans go forth into the galaxy and begin settling other planets, it is likely that the First Landing site will become the Prime Meridian of that planet.
