The Royal Observatory in Greenwich has a line on the ground showing the exact location of the Prime Meridian. The astronomical Prime Meridian is defined by this reference. Due to changes in the way the Prime Meridian is defined, the Prime Meridian of modern reference systems is 102.5 metres east of the Greenwich astronomical meridian represented by the stainless steel strip.
What else can I help you with?
What two lines mark zero degrees on the globe In which directions do these lines run?
The Equator is the line of zero latitude, and runs west to east horizontally round the middle of the Earth. The Prime Meridian is the line of zero longitude, and runs vertically from the North Pole to The South Pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
What lines run east and west but are measure north and south of the equator?
lattitude. i guess its you that has been asking all these lat. long questions
What do you call lines that run east and west north and south of the equator?
Lines of longitude run vertically from the north pole to the south pole. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines that run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude) are lines of latitude.
Does the prime meridian run through Denver Colorado?
Of course it does! The prime meridian divides thr western and eastern hemispheres from the equator, so technically yes, it does.
What is the only ocean the equator doesn't run through?
The Arctic Ocean is the only ocean that the equator does not run through. The equator passes through the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans but not the Arctic Ocean.
Does the prime meridian run through Greenwich England?
Yes, it does.
Which country does the prime meridian run through?
It runs through Greenwich, England. Its the simplest answer :)
What city in England does the equator run through?
none
Which way does the prime meridian run through greenwich England?
North -- South
What are the lines that run east and west along the service of the earth they measure how far a place it's from the equator?
Lines of Latitude run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude). Lines of Longitude run from the North and South Poles, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
What are the two kinds of line in map eh?
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Is it latitude or longitude?
Latitude lines run east and west, like the equator, and give a location in degrees north or south of the equator. Longitude lines run from pole to pole and give a location in degrees either east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England, as well as France, Spain, Algeria, and some countries in west Africa.
Do latitude lines connect the nprth and south poles?
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.

What does 0 degrees meridian run through?
The "0" degree meridian, or the Prime Meridian, runs through Greenwich England, Spain, and the Northwest corner of Africa (Morroco).
What do you call lines that run east and west north and south of the equator?
Lines of longitude run vertically from the north pole to the south pole. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines that run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude) are lines of latitude.
