The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0°.
The Prime Meridian and its opposite the 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

How are the prime maridian and equator different?
The difference between any meridian and the equator:-The Equator is an imaginary line of latitude (it goes round the middle of the Earth in the plane in which the Earth spins) it is also a "Great Circle" in that the plane of the equator passes through the middle of the Earth.Meridians are imaginary lines of longitude (they pass through the North and South Poles of Earth and are therefore at 90 degrees to the plane in which the Earth spins). Meridians/lines of longitude are also "Great Circles".The difference between the prime meridian and the equator:-The Equator is 0 degrees latitude while the Prime Meridian is 0 degrees longitude.

The spelling is "prime meridian". That is the meridian from which counting begins; i.e., the prime meridian, by definition, has longitude zero, and degrees are counted to the east and to the west of the prime meridian. In the international system currently used, that is the Greenwich meridian - a meridian that goes through the Greenwich Observatory in London.

What is opposite of the prime maridian?
The opposite of the Prime Meridian, which is located at 0 degrees longitude, is the International Date Line, positioned at approximately 180 degrees longitude. This line serves as the boundary for calendar days, where the date changes as one crosses it. While the Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, England, the International Date Line primarily runs through the Pacific Ocean.

Is the equator a parallel or a maridian?
The equator is the parallel that consists of every point on Earth whose distances from the north and south poles are equal. In the system of geographic coordinates that we've invented to describe the location of points on Earth, the equator is defined as zero latitude.
