What is the great circle formed by the prime meridian and the international dateline cuts earth in half the part east of the prime meridian?

The great circle formed by the prime meridian and the International Date Line divides the Earth into two equal halves, with the part east of the prime meridian and west of the International Date Line referred to as the Eastern Hemisphere. This line represents a 180-degree separation between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.


What is the 0 line of the longitude called?

The zero degrees longitude line is called the Prime Meridian. When the Prime Meridian is combined with the meridian of 180 degrees longitude, the two meridians together form a circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.


True or false is the points east of the prime meridian are located between 0 degree and 180 degrees east longitude?

Yes, all points east and west of the Prime Meridian are both between 0 and 180 degrees longitude because there are a total of 360 degrees of longitude on a globe divided into 180 degrees on each of the eastern and western hemispheres.


What is on the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line?

Yes. The prime meridian runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It establishes the line of 0º longitude. This arbitrary starting point defines locations by their separation in degrees east or west of the prime meridian, up to 180° in either direction.


What is the name for 0 longitude?

The Equator is the line of latitude at which the latitude is defined to be 0°. The Equator divides the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
