The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian.
The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
The line of longitude for a place that is halfway between the prime meridian and the 80th line of longitude and west of the prime meridian would be -40 degrees longitude. The prime meridian is at 0 degrees, and halfway between 0 and 80 is 40 degrees. Since the location is west of the prime meridian, the longitude would be measured as negative.
90 degrees west
The equator's latitude is 0 degrees. It is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles.
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
The imaginary line halfway around the globe from the prime meridian is called the International Date Line. This line marks the transition between one calendar day and the next and is located at 180 degrees longitude. Crossing the International Date Line moving eastward subtracts one day, while crossing it moving westward adds one day to the calendar.

90 degrees
The imaginary line circling Earth halfway between the poles is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Equator has a latitude of 0 degrees.
90 degrees west
- It is an imaginary line. - It circles the globe halfway between the North and South poles. - Its zero degrees
90 degrees west longitude
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and does not have a fixed longitude. It circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles.
