That's like asking "What is the next distance greater than 47.3 miles ?",
or "What is the next heavier weight after 1851/4 pounds ?"
There is no minimum-size "step". The "next" one can be as close to 45 degrees as
you want it to be. And no matter how close it is, somebody can always come along
and slip one in that's even closer.
There is no standard set of "lines" of latitude or longitude. That's definitely the
biggest, most universal misconception we see in this category of questions.
A location that is 30 degrees south and 45 degrees east is not on the Prime Meridian but is on the equator. The Prime Meridian is at 0 degrees longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.
To locate 15 degrees South, 45 degrees West on a map, start at the equator (0 degrees latitude) and count 15 degrees south. Then, from the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude), count 45 degrees west. The point where these lines intersect is the location you're looking for.
The missing word is "degrees".When it is noon at a point on a meridian it is 2 hours earlier 30 degrees to the west of the meridian?
The latitude and longitude for 46 degrees North latitude from the Prime Meridian are approximately 46 degrees North latitude, 0 degrees longitude. Moving to 21 degrees South, 35 degrees West would take you to approximately 21 degrees South latitude, 35 degrees West longitude. Continuing to 20 degrees South, 45 degrees West would position you at approximately 20 degrees South latitude, 45 degrees West longitude. Finally, moving to 20 degrees North would bring you around 20 degrees North latitude, along the same longitude as the previous location (45 degrees West).
The distance from the prime meridian is usually measured in degrees of longitude. The distance east or west of the prime meridian is referred to as "longitude."

A location that is 30 degrees south and 45 degrees east is in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres. It is 45 degrees east of the Prime Meridian, which is the starting point for measuring longitude. The coordinates specify the exact position of the location on the Earth's surface in relation to the equator and the Prime Meridian.

Longitude !
The latitude and longitude for 46 degrees North latitude from the Prime Meridian are approximately 46 degrees North latitude, 0 degrees longitude. Moving to 21 degrees South, 35 degrees West would take you to approximately 21 degrees South latitude, 35 degrees West longitude. Continuing to 20 degrees South, 45 degrees West would position you at approximately 20 degrees South latitude, 45 degrees West longitude. Finally, moving to 20 degrees North would bring you around 20 degrees North latitude, along the same longitude as the previous location (45 degrees West).
All of them are.
Longitude or meridians are the distances in degrees measuring east or west of the prime meridian.
The distance from the prime meridian is usually measured in degrees of longitude. The distance east or west of the prime meridian is referred to as "longitude."
The line of longitude for a place that is halfway between the prime meridian and the 80th line of longitude and west of the prime meridian would be -40 degrees longitude. The prime meridian is at 0 degrees, and halfway between 0 and 80 is 40 degrees. Since the location is west of the prime meridian, the longitude would be measured as negative.
The shorthand for 85 degrees west of the prime meridian and 45 degrees north of the equator is 45°N 85°W. This notation follows the standard format for expressing geographic coordinates, with the latitude (north or south of the equator) listed first and the longitude (east or west of the prime meridian) listed second. This shorthand helps to precisely pinpoint a location on the Earth's surface.
