The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees, the international date line is not. There is only one prime meridian, there are many international date line.
The equator and the International dateline cross. the distance between a point on one and a point on the other can be anywhere between zero and about 6,214 miles.
Both the equator and the International date line cross through the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the point where these two lines meet is in this body of water.
90 degrees of latitude
No, the International Date Line is not used to measure latitude. It marks the boundary between one calendar day and the next, mostly following the 180° line of longitude. Latitude is measured north or south from the equator.
The Equator is the imaginary line that runs east and west half way between the north and south poles. The equator has a latitude of 0 degrees which divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The Equator is one of the five named circles of latitude on Earth. Going from North to South, the circles of latitude are called the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle.

A hemisphere is a section of the Earth located north/south or between two major lines of latitude or longitude. The Northern Hemisphere is located north of the Equator. The Southern Hemisphere is located south of the Equator. The Western Hemisphere is located west of the Prime Meridian and east of the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is located east of the Prime Meridian and west of the International Dateline.
The difference between the two is that a Golden Shellback has crossed the Equator at the International Date Line (00.00 N and 00.00 E)
The globe is divided into the northern and southern hemisphere (divide by the equator) , and the eastern and western hemisphere (divided by the International Dateline).
differences between equator and prime meridian
everything
90 degrees of latitude
Kanyakumari is just 8 degrees away from the equator. As equator receives the direct Sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day & night. Where as, Kashmir is 37 degrees away from the equator. So there can be about 5 hrs difference between day & night.
The most important lines of longitude and latitude are the equator, the prime meridian, tropic of Cancer, tropic of Capricorn and the international dateline.
