Difference between meridian and longitude?

The longitude of a point on earth is the angle, east or west, between that point and a certain reference line on the earth. If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that have exactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude. The reference line is the meridian of zero longitude, called the "Prime Meridian". On that line are all the points on earth that have zero longitude. The line joins the north and south Poles, and passes through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, a suburb of London.


What two lines of longitude share the same line east and west?

The two lines of longitude that share the same line east and west are the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and the International Date Line (180° longitude). The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, England, while the International Date Line is located roughly along the 180° longitude line in the Pacific Ocean. These lines are opposite each other on the globe, marking the division between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

Why is the half of map east of 100 degrees w is not in the eastern hemisphere?

The Prime Meridian is the line of 0 degrees longitude, dividing the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Any location east of 100 degrees west longitude falls in the Western Hemisphere because it is measured westward from the Prime Meridian towards the International Date Line. Thus, the half of the map east of 100 degrees west is in the Western Hemisphere.


Where are places east of Greenwich for 180 degrees?
