The 180th meridian is on the other side, and the International Date Line generally follows the 180th meridian. (The Prime Meridian is the 0th meridian, with there being 360 lines of longitude across the globe)
The meridian exactly halfway around the world from the prime meridian is called the 180th meridian or the antimeridian. This line represents the opposite side of the Earth from the prime meridian and is where the International Date Line is located.
Eastern side of USA is nearer the Greenwich meridian in London UK.
The longitude of every point on Earth, from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the westerly direction is labeled "west longitude". The longitude of every point on Earth from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the easterly direction is labeled "east longitude".
Los Angeles is on the western side of the prime meridian. The whole U.S. is in the western hemisphere, therefore all of the U.S. is on the west side of the prime meridian. :)
not sure what is up with all that^ but from the north pole to the south pole on one side of the world the international date line is the international date line. On the other side of the world The international date line is the prime meridian
No. The prime meridian if on the side of the earth not the center. The prime meridian is the 0 latitude line. On the other side you have the 180 degree latitude line, sometimes called the international date line.
The meridian exactly halfway around the world from the prime meridian is called the 180th meridian or the antimeridian. This line represents the opposite side of the Earth from the prime meridian and is where the International Date Line is located.
The line of 180 longitude is sometimes called the "anti-meridian". It is also (with a number of variations) the International Date Line.
The Prime Meridian runs through London so England is on the east and the west of it.
East if you are one side of it and the west when you are on the other side of it.
The International Date Line.
Eastern side of USA is nearer the Greenwich meridian in London UK.
The longitude of every point on Earth, from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the westerly direction is labeled "west longitude". The longitude of every point on Earth from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the easterly direction is labeled "east longitude".
What major city is crossed by the prime meridian? I meant WHAT CITY/CITIES ARE LOCATED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF GMT/LONDON, (OTHER SIDE OF THE EARTH) TO LONDON AND WHAT ARE THE longitude/latitude of such cities. Hope My Question is clear.
China is located on the east side of the prime meridian.
Los Angeles is on the western side of the prime meridian. The whole U.S. is in the western hemisphere, therefore all of the U.S. is on the west side of the prime meridian. :)
The line name at 0 degrees longitude is commonly referred to as the Prime Meridian. This line passes through Greenwich, London, United Kingdom and can also be referred to as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian.
