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

How many degrees of longitude each side of the prime meridian?

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.
