The Prime Meridian crosses parts of England, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali,
Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana. You can't get any nearer than that.
The three European countries entirely west of the Prime Meridian are Portugal, Spain, and Iceland.
Africa,Europe, and antarctica. The prime meridian goes straight like longitude. Europe is on top, Africa is in the middle, and anarctica is on the bottom. Hope this answers your question! And a Good Day to you! ======================== (Unless your map is printed, or your globe is mounted, with the north pole at the bottom. In that case, Antarctica is on top, Africa is in the middle, and Europe is near the bottom.)
15.30 p.m as N.delhi is +5.30hRS GMT.
At noon at the prime meridian on the equator, the time at 55 degrees north latitude on the same meridian would be 5:40 AM. This is because every 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour of time difference, so 55 degrees north of the equator is 3 hours and 40 minutes behind the prime meridian.
The Prime Meridian is one of the of two boundaries between the Eastern and Western hemispheres (the other is the 180° meridian at the International Date Line). So the meridian itself could be considered in both or in neither.In latitude, the Prime Meridian extends from the North Pole to the South Pole, so it runs through both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, having exactly half of its length in each.
The three European countries entirely west of the Prime Meridian are Portugal, Spain, and Iceland.
No. However, Cardiff is located very near the Prime Meridian. Its longitude is: 3°11′12″W
Basically there are more than 3 countries located in the east part of prime meridian thus, CHINA, New Zealand and TURKEY are one of them. -Dominic-
The prime meridian (also called the Greenwich meridian) passes through the African countries of Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana.
The four countries that the Prime Meridian passes through are: 1). England 2). France 3). Spain 4). Algeria 5). Mali 6). Burkina Faso 7). Ghana 8). Togo 9). (Antarctica)
The prime meridian runs through three continents. These continents include Europe, Antarctica, and Africa. The prime meridian is also referred to as the Greenwich meridian.
The prime meridian passes though these three continents: Europe, England and Antarctica.

Africa and Europe lie both east and west of the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian would have to pass through way more than 3 states if it goes through 3 continents.I belive this person was trying to say what CONTENENTSdoes it pass through. The three contenents are; Europe, Africa, And Antarcticai was correct u dumb azz CONTINENTS
Europe, Africa, and Antarctica
Every 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour. So 45 degrees east of the Prime Meridian is ahead of UTC by 3 hours (45 divided by 15). So the absolute time at the Prime Meridian when it is 12:00 noon at 45o E, is 09:00 hrs.However, different countries set their time zones by reference to political and practical considerations, not just by their position in relationship to lines of longitude. Consequently in some situations, the local time in at the Prime Meridian will be different from that of other countries through which the Prime Meridian runs.For example, local (standard) time at the Prime Meridian in France and Spain and Algeria is UTC +1, whereas in the UK it is UTC +/- 0.Similarly, standard time at 45o E is generally UTC +3, but there are exceptions: Iran, for example. Longitude 45o E passes through Iran, but it is a large country, and for convenience, has adopted UTC +3.5 as its standard time zone (Iran Standard Time/IRST). So when it is 12 noon at 45o E in Iran, it is 08:30 hrs at the Prime Meridian in England but 09:30 hrs on the Prime Meridian in France.For more information about the Prime Meridian, see Related links below.
