Why are the lines of longitude for 180 degreee west and 180 degrees east the same?
Yes. The 180 degree meridian can either be referred to as East or West. It is where the "International Date Line" is based. It dictates where one day starts and the other finishes. To save confusion however, the date line is not does not pass through habbitated land which gives it a zig zag characteristic from the North Pole to the South Pole along 180E/W. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line
What else can I help you with?
What is the highest longitude lines?
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.
How do write lines in longitude in words -15E?
It is fifteen degrees East. (15 degrees East of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian being zero longitude).
Distance east and west from the prime meridian?
The distance east or west from the Prime Meridian is measured in degrees, with 360 degrees in a full circle representing the Earth's circumference. The Prime Meridian itself is set at 0 degrees longitude, so any location east of it will have a positive longitude value, while any location west of it will have a negative longitude value.
How many lines of east and west longitude make up the earth?
There are 180 degrees of east longitude and 180 degrees of west longitude, for a grand total of 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' through that range on your map or globe as you feel will make you comfortable. There is no standard set of 'lines' that everone is required to use.
What lines of longitude pass through Turkey?
Turkey spans nearly 18.5 degrees of longitude, between about 26°24' east at Canakkale to 44°46' east at the point where Turkey, Iran, and Iraq meet. On your map, you're welcome to subdivide that span into as many or as few intervals as you're comfortable with, and to draw the lines to indicate the various meridians. Keep in mind that a greater number of lines permits more precise estimates of longitude, but they do tend to cover up stuff on the map. But the choice is entirely up to the owner of the map.
Which of these lines of longitude runs through the ural mountains 40 degrees east 60 degrees east or 80 degrees east?
The 60 degrees east line of longitude runs through the Ural Mountains.
What is the highest longitude lines?
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.

How do write lines in longitude in words -15E?
It is fifteen degrees East. (15 degrees East of the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian being zero longitude).
Which of these lines of latitude runs through the Ural mountains 40 degrees east 60 degrees east 80 degrees east?
They are lines of longitude, not latitude, but 60° East longitude is approximately correct for the 1600-mile long range.
Which Time Zone includes 2200W longitude?
There is no such longitude. The maximum degrees for lines of longitude is 180 east and west only.
