The prime meridian is used as the starting point for measuring distances in degrees of longitude. Distances to the east and west of the prime meridian are expressed in degrees, with a maximum of 180 degrees in each direction. This system allows for the precise location of points on the Earth's surface in relation to the prime meridian.
