The starting point for latitude is the equator. For longitude it is the prime meridian. Try and not get confused because some people think that it is the prime meridian for both but it is not. Hope this helps!

Lines of longitude that passes through south Africa?
-- Sweden ranges in longitude from 11° to 24.2° East. -- Greece ranges in longitude from 19.4° to 26.6° East. -- Zambia ranges in longitude from 22° to 33.7° East.

Is the Greenwich meridian line a line of longitude?
Yes it is. It is the starting point to measure degrees East or West.
What is the line when determining the longitude?
The Prime Meridian is the reference line. That's the meridian of longitude that joins the north and south poles and passes through a mark on the floor of the transit room of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, a suburb of London. By international agreement, that line is zero longitude. All others are measured east or west from it, from zero to 180°.
What is the starting lines for measuring latitude and longitude?
Latitude is an angle measured north or south from the equator. Longitude is an angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian
