Well, let's see . . . . .

A "meridian" is a line of constant longitude, so wherever you are on it, the longitude is

always the same number.

Also, a meridian of longitude is a line that stretches all the way between the north pole

and the south pole, covering all possible latitudes.

So the coordinates on the central meridian are:

(Any latitude you want), and (The same longitude everywhere on it).

What is Central Meridian?

The central meridian is the line of longitude that runs north-south along the center of a map projection, typically representing the middle of the region being depicted. It helps to minimize distortion in maps and is used as a reference point for measuring distances and directions.


What value is given to each central meridian in the UTM system?

In the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system, each central meridian is assigned a value based on its position within one of the 60 zones, which are each 6 degrees of longitude wide. The central meridian for each zone is typically set at the midpoint of the zone's longitude range, with values expressed in meters. For example, the central meridian of Zone 1 is at -177 degrees longitude, while Zone 60 is at 177 degrees longitude. The central meridian's value is used as a reference point for calculating coordinates within that zone.
