Each is the starting place for its form of measurement - the equator for latitude and the prime meridian for longitude.
They are both considered to be '0' or the starting mark for counting in either latitude or longitude. They both go around the earth, even though one goes from North to South, while the other goes East to West.

What latitude line is at 0 degrees?
equator
Are the prime meridian and the greenwich meridian the same?
Yes, the Prime Meridian and the Greenwich Meridian are the same. The Prime Meridian passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, and is the starting point for measuring longitude.
When it is noon at prime meridian on the equator what is the time at 55 degrees north latitude on this same meridian?
At noon at the prime meridian on the equator, the time at 55 degrees north latitude on the same meridian would be 5:40 AM. This is because every 15 degrees of longitude represents one hour of time difference, so 55 degrees north of the equator is 3 hours and 40 minutes behind the prime meridian.
