Are the prime meridian and the international date line the same thing?

Answer 1

The difference is 180 degrees of longitude. They're two different [imaginary] lines

on the earth's surface, directly opposite each other. The Prime Meridian connects

the north and south poles and runs through Europe and Africa. The International

Date Line also connects the north and south poles, but runs down the other side

of the earth, through the Pacific Ocean. If you stand at any point on either one of

them (except at the north or south pole), then you can't see any point on the

other one.

Answer 2

No. They're exactly on opposite sides of the Earth. The Prime Meridian connects the

north and south poles running through England, and the International Dateline closely

follows the meridian of 180° longitude, connecting the poles and running through the

Pacific Ocean.

Answer 3

no the prime meridian is on the opposite side of the earth from the international date line
