All I know is Miami, Florida.
Longitude is the number of degrees east or west along a line of latitude from the prime meridian.
The missing word is "degrees".When it is noon at a point on a meridian it is 2 hours earlier 30 degrees to the west of the meridian?

Oh, dude, the prime meridian is just like the zero degrees longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England, right? So, technically, there are infinite cities both east and west of it because the Earth is a big ol' sphere with a whole bunch of cities all over the place. But hey, who's counting, right?
Longitude !
The line 90 degrees west longitude, which includes the cities of New Orleans LA and Memphis TN.
All of them are.
Yes it is, as long as you're talking about the same latitude in both cases. 30 degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian corresponds to 2071.2 miles along the equator. As you leave the equator and travel north or south, 30 degrees either side of the Prime Meridian shrinks steadily, and becomes zero miles at the poles.
Longitude or meridians are the distances in degrees measuring east or west of the prime meridian.
The distance from the prime meridian is usually measured in degrees of longitude. The distance east or west of the prime meridian is referred to as "longitude."
The line of longitude for a place that is halfway between the prime meridian and the 80th line of longitude and west of the prime meridian would be -40 degrees longitude. The prime meridian is at 0 degrees, and halfway between 0 and 80 is 40 degrees. Since the location is west of the prime meridian, the longitude would be measured as negative.
