Main line of latitude?
Prime meridian, from which longitude is measured both east and west, is the main line of longitude.
What is the line of longitude that bisects the earth?
all lines of longitude bisect the earth Prime Meridian is the longitual line from which longitude is measured both east and west.
Do latitude lines tell you the distance east or west of the prime meridian?
No, lines of latitude parallel the equator and never cross each other. Whereas lines of longitude run north/south and intersect at both poles. The Prime Meridian is, by the way, a line of longitude.
Is a meridian the same thing as the prime meridian?
No, a meridian is a line of longitude on a map stretching from the North Pole to the South Pole, while the prime meridian is the specific meridian designated as 0° longitude, from which all other longitudes are measured.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are

What two lines of longitude divide the eastern and western hemisphere?
The prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) and the 180th meridian both divide 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 the degree distance from the prime meridian west to the internatinatinal date line?
Large parts of the International Dateline coincide with the meridian of 180° longitude, but other parts deviate from it quite a bit. The meridian of 180° longitude is 180° from the Prime Meridian, both east and west.
What is the name of the line 0 longitude?
The line name at 0 degrees longitude is commonly referred to as the Prime Meridian. This line passes through Greenwich, London, United Kingdom and can also be referred to as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian.
What line of longitude would be 180 degrees away from the prime meridian?
The 180th meridian or antimeridian is the meridian which is 180° east or west of the Prime Meridian ... It is common to both east longitude and west longitude. It runs through the Pacific Ocean, and was the nominal guideline for the position of the International Dateline, although the dateline itself had to depart from the antimeridian in several places.
