There are two meridians of 108° longitude ... one east of Greenwich, and one west of Greenwich.Neither of them has any name or particular significance.You may be thinking of the meridian at 180° from Greenwich. That one roughly coincides with theInternational Date Line.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".
That's a lot like asking "How many marks are there on a ruler in an interval of 5 inches ?" There is no standard 'set' of meridians. Various maps and globes print more meridians or fewer, and some print none at all. A meridian can be printed on a map at any longitude you name. There is no fixed number of them.
Name the two meridians east of the meridian on this map.
Parallels are lines of latitude that run east-west around the globe, while meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south. Parallels are always equidistant from each other, while meridians converge at the poles. Parallels help locate positions north or south of the equator, while meridians help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Those are meridians of constant longitude.

Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
"Meridians" are the long lines on a globe or map that help pinpoint coordinates. Meridian lines are also called longitudinal lines.
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
