The name given to the imaginary line of zero longitude on the earth's surface is the "Prime Meridian" or "Greenwich Meridian". It's a line that joins the North and South Poles, and crosses a spot on the floor of the room that houses the zenith telescope at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, England. As it runs through Greenwich (the observatory site), it is also called the Greenwich Meridian.
Time is often expressed in terms of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is related to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
0 degrees longitude, which runs through Greenwich is called the "prime meridian."
The point where the equator crosses the prime meridian is known as the Null Island, with coordinates (0, 0). It is a fictional island and serves as a placeholder for data where coordinates are invalid or not available.
The 0 degree line of longitude is known as the Prime Meridian. It runs vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole and passes through Greenwich, London, UK. It divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Answer: if its 6pm in ontario it is 12 am on the longitude, so over all a diffence of 6 hours
The Prime Meridian is defined as Zero Longitude. Any longitude that you feel is "close" to zero is close to the Prime Meridian.
0 degree longitude is is called the Prime Meridian.
0 degrees longitude, which runs through Greenwich is called the "prime meridian."
The point where the equator crosses the prime meridian is known as the Null Island, with coordinates (0, 0). It is a fictional island and serves as a placeholder for data where coordinates are invalid or not available.
That's called the "prime meridian".
0 longitude is the prime meridian. 0 latitude is the equator.

The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the prime meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significane but it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
