The meridian used for reckoning standard time; throughout most of the world the standard meridians are those whose longitudes are exactly divisible by 15°.

In mapping, it is defined as a meridian of a map projection along which the scale is as stated.

Answer 2

My name is Monik Tamang.This app is unable to answer many questions.By the way (The meridian which longitudes are exactly divisible by 15degree is called standard meridian).Don't use this app.

Answer 3

The world is round. There's no obviously logical zero point for longitude, so one has to be set, and mostly agreed on, for maps and navigational devices to be useful to everybody. If each nation chose their own zero point (and some do...) then you wouldn't be able to use their maps.

Answer 4

The standard meridian is the reference longitude used for a particular time zone. It is typically the center of the time zone and represents the point at which the time is considered to be the official time for that zone. The standard meridian is usually a multiple of 15 degrees from the Prime Meridian.
