The 'lines' that appear east and west of the Prime Meridian are the other meridians of longitude.
But they don't circle the Earth. Each meridian is a semi-circle that joins the north and south poles,
and has the same longitude at every point on it.
Imaginary lines that circle the earth from east to west are called lines of longitude, or meridians. These lines help define the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
The two imaginary dividing lines of the hemisphere are the equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Every point on a meridian has the same longitude.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.

Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
The two imaginary lines that divide the Earth into hemispheres are the Equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
