The tropical zone is not defined by its location on the prime meridian but by its latitude, extending approximately from 23.5° North to 23.5° South of the equator. This zone encompasses regions near the equator where the climate is typically warm and experiences minimal temperature variation throughout the year. The prime meridian, which is at 0° longitude, runs vertically through Greenwich, England, and intersects the tropical zone in parts of Africa and the Atlantic Ocean, but it does not define the zone itself.

How many degrees away from prime meridian is Van couver?
The terminal building at Vancouver Intl is located at about 49.195° north latitude 123.178° west longitude. So if you travel straight east to the Prime Meridian, you have to cover 123.178° of longitude to get there. But . . . The Prime Meridian is a long line. It stretches half-way around the earth in the north-south direction. The point on the Prime Meridian that's closest to Vancouver Intl happens to be . . . the north Pole!

The Greenwich Meridian, also known as the prime meridian or International Meridian, is the "starting point" for dividing the Earth's surface into time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide (with local variations) and the local time is one hour earlier than the zone immediately to the east on the map
