There are only 2 . . . Greenland and Iceland.

(That meridian also crosses part of the Antarctic continent, as all meridians do,

but Antarctica isn't a country.)

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.


The line of longitude marked o degrees on the world map from which longitude east and west are measured?

The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as the reference point from which all other longitudes are measured. Longitudes to the east are designated as positive values, while longitudes to the west are designated as negative values.


How would you describe the Prime Meridian?

The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude marked at 0 degrees, from which all other lines of longitude are measured. It passes through Greenwich, England and serves as the reference point for determining time zones across the world.


What is the longitude on the opposite end of Earth at 145 degrees east?

The longitude on the opposite end of Earth from 145 degrees east is 35 degrees west. This is because the Earth's circumference is 360 degrees, and the opposite longitude is always 180 degrees away from the original.


If you were to travel along the 330 degrees longitude line from Antarctica which continent would you reach?

A longitude of 210 degrees means that you are measuring longitude from 0 to 360 degrees, which is fine, but very often people use -180 to +180 degrees, also called 180 degrees west to 180 degrees east instead. 210 degrees longitude is the same as 150 degrees west. You would pass French Polynesia and you would then make a landfall in Alaska in the USA which is in North America.

Is a prime meridian a longitude line?

What city is located at 41 degrees north and 185 degrees west?

First of all, there really is no such longitude as "185 degrees west". Longitudes are only labeled from zero to 180°, both east and west. If you start at zero (the Prime Meridian) and travel 185 degrees west, the longitude you arrive at is marked "175° east". 41° north/175° east is the location of a whole bunch of water. It's at sea in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,940 miles east-northeast of Tokyo and 2,080 miles northwest of Honolulu.

What is the prime maridian?

The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0°.The Prime Meridian and its opposite the 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.


What imaginary line runs from the north pole to the south pole through the center of the earth?
