All longitudes range between zero and 180°, both east and west, and they don't

go any higher than that.

Zero longitude is the definition of the "Prime Meridian". If two people start out from

the Prime Meridian, and one goes 180° east and the other goes 180° west, they

meet each other on the other side of the earth, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,

at the line that's both 180° east longitude and 180° west longitude.

Can Longitude be counted as high as 210?

It could be, but it never is. If you start at zero and travel 210 degrees of longitude in one direction, that brings you to the place that you could have reached by traveling only 150 degrees in the other direction. Halfway around is 180 degrees, so that's as high as longitude is ever marked, because if you go more than 180 degrees, then it would have been shorter to go less than 180 degrees the other way.
