The prime meridian does not meet. It starts at the north pole and ends at the south pole, passing through Greenwich, London. At the poles it becomes the anti-meridian or the international date line
No, the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line do not meet in Antarctica. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, England, while the International Date Line is located in the Pacific Ocean. Antarctica is located on the opposite side of the globe from these lines.
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
Starting from the Prime Meridian and going either east or west, you'll cover 360 degrees of longitude before you find yourself back at the Prime Meridian again. Half-way around a sphere corresponds to 180 degrees. If you and your friend both start out from the Prime Meridian, and one of you travels east around the globe and the other travels west around the globe, you'll eventually meet each other. If you both travel exactly the same distance, then you each cover 180 degrees of longitude, and you meet exactly on the other side opposite the Prime Meridian, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, at 180 degrees longitude, both east and west.

The Prime Meridian is the line that marks all points at Zero longitude. TheInternational Dateline roughly follows the meridian of 180° longitude. Sincethose two lines mark different longitudes, the only place where they can meetwould be a place where all longitudes come together. Fortunately, there aretwo of those on Earth . . . the north and south poles.They meet at 90° north latitude and at 90° south latitude.
My teacher called it the prime origin. That is a sailors' term for it that isn't in the encyclopedia, but it is an actual term.

Over Water, the equator and prime meridian meet over the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic ocean a few hundred kilometers off the coast of Africa, about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana, and 650 miles west of Libreville, Gabon. Also the international date line (180 meridian) and the equator meet over water, near the Phoenix islands in the Pacific.
At the point with the coordinates: Zero latitude / Zero longitude. That point is in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles south of Accra, Ghana.
