The meridian of 180°E and 180°W is essentially the same line, known as the International Date Line. It runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and serves as the boundary where the date changes; when crossing from west to east, it subtracts a day, and from east to west, it adds a day. This meridian largely follows the 180° longitude line but deviates in some areas to accommodate political and geographical boundaries.

What is at 180 degrees E and W longitude?

The 180 degree line of longitude is called the 180th meridian or the antimieridian. This line is 180 degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian such that longitude at 180E and 180W is the same line. The International Date Line basically follows this line from the North and South poles..


Divides the earth into easten and western hemispheres?

The international date line and the Prime meridian. Technically, it should probably be 180W (or 180E, they're the same thing) instead of the international date line, but there are some advantages of using the international date line instead.... for one thing, it keeps Alaska together.

What is the easternmost point on earth?

The easternmost point on Earth is located at the intersection of the Equator and the Prime Meridian in the Atlantic Ocean. This point is called the "Eastern Point of the Equator and Prime Meridian" or "Point Nemo." It is known as the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, meaning it is the farthest point on Earth from any landmass.


What is the latitude and longitude of a crater in the equator on mars?

What is the Eastern and western most longitude in degrees?

Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, in both directions ... east and west. The farthest possible excursion away from the Prime Meridian in either direction is half-way around the Earth ... after you've gone that far, every additional step puts you closer to the Prime Meridian. Halfway around the Earth in one direction is 180 degrees east. Halfway around it in the other direction is 180 degrees west. The greatest possible longitude in either direction is 180 degrees, and both of those are the same meridian (line).

Where does longitude and latitude cross?

"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.

Does Alaska cross the international date line?

Yes, the Alaskan Aleutian Islands cross the International Dateline. On a map or globe it does not because the "International Dateline" kind of zig zags. This is only done on maps and globes so it would not go through any country. In reality the International Dateline is 180W/180E.


Can 180w power adapter plug 110w outlet?

Yes, a 180W power adapter can be used with a 110W outlet. The wattage of the adapter represents the maximum power it can supply, but it will only draw the power it needs from the outlet. Just ensure that the voltage of the outlet matches the voltage rating of the power adapter to avoid any issues.
