The distance would be variable. The earth is a sphere, and the Prime Meridian is a point that was arbitrarily given the start point 0 degrees
longitude. That point runs through Greenwitch, England and approximatly through the center of Paris where it is called the Rose Line. This is a north
to south line, and was designated as THE start point so that with a good
clock, knowing where the sun rose and its time, you could closly determine
where you were by both longitude (East/West) and latitude North/South. If you were in a ship on the open seas, that would be invaluable. On land, that might just get you home too! So, 180 degrees would be directly opposite of that point except at the
North and South Poles, where the lines would be the same. The Prime Meridian in essance circles the globe, and the 180 degree point and the
0 degree point can be the same. At the Equator the distance between the
0 and 180 degree point is one half the circumfence of the planet, or appr. 12,450.75 miles. At any other point it would be less, and would be 0 at the poles. Zinfoolish
What else can I help you with?
True or false is the points east of the prime meridian are located between 0 degree and 180 degrees east longitude?
Yes, all points east and west of the Prime Meridian are both between 0 and 180 degrees longitude because there are a total of 360 degrees of longitude on a globe divided into 180 degrees on each of the eastern and western hemispheres.
What is the opposite side of the globe from the Prime Meridian called?
The opposite side of the globe from the Prime Meridian is called the International Date Line. It is located 180 degrees away from the Prime Meridian and serves as the marker where each new day begins.
What is the name for 0 longitude?
Prime Meridian. 180 longitude is the Iinternational Date Line, and the equator is 0 degrees latitude
What is the 0 line of the longitude called?
The zero degrees longitude line is called the Prime Meridian. When the Prime Meridian is combined with the meridian of 180 degrees longitude, the two meridians together form a circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Where would the prime meridian and international dateline be placed on a world map?
The prime meridian is located at 0 degrees longitude and passes through Greenwich, England. The international dateline is located at 180 degrees longitude and is opposite the prime meridian, roughly along the 180th meridian in the Pacific Ocean.
What is Located between the prime meridian and 180 degrease east longitude?
Brazil
What is the greatest number of degrees anyone can be from the prime meridian?
The greatest number of degrees anyone can be from the prime meridian is 180 degrees. This is because the prime meridian itself is located at 0 degrees longitude, and the maximum longitude value is 180 degrees both east and west. Therefore, any location can be a maximum of 180 degrees away from the prime meridian.
What is located between the prime meridian and 180 degrees west longitude?
The International Date Line is located between the prime meridian and 180 degrees west longitude. It serves as the dividing line between two consecutive calendar days and is used as the basis for determining time differences across the world.
Halfway between prime meridian and 180 line?
The halfway point between the Prime Meridian (0°) and the 180° line of longitude is the 90° line of longitude, also known as the International Date Line. This line is located in the Pacific Ocean and marks where each new day begins.
What would be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the prime meridian halfway between the prime meridian and the 180 degrees line of longitude?
90 degrees
What would be the location of place that is west of the prime meridian and halfway between the prime meridian and the 180 degree line of longitude?
90 degrees west
True or false is the points east of the prime meridian are located between 0 degree and 180 degrees east longitude?
Yes, all points east and west of the Prime Meridian are both between 0 and 180 degrees longitude because there are a total of 360 degrees of longitude on a globe divided into 180 degrees on each of the eastern and western hemispheres.
What line is between the international date line and the prime meridian?
180 degrees of longitude.
What would be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the Prime Meridian halfway between the Prime Meridian and the 180 degrees line of longiude?
90 degrees west
What is the opposite side of the globe from the Prime Meridian called?
The opposite side of the globe from the Prime Meridian is called the International Date Line. It is located 180 degrees away from the Prime Meridian and serves as the marker where each new day begins.
What would be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the prime meridian and halfway between the prime meridian and the 180 degrease line of longitude?
90 degrees west longitude
What is the largest number of longitude?
Longitude has a minimum of -180 (west of the prime meridian) and a maximum of 180 (east of the prime meridian). -180 and 180 are the same line, approached from opposite directions. 0 degrees of longitude runs through London, England and is called the "prime meridian."
