The line formed by all the points on earth with zero longitude is the Prime Meridian.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of longitudes are also called Meridians. These vertical lines are drawn from the North to South poles.The meridian through Greenwich, England, called the Prime Meridian, was set at zero degrees of longitude. The meridian on the opposite side of the earth from Greenwich is called the International Date Line (IDL), which is at roughly 180° longitude.
The intersection of 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude is known as the Prime Meridian and the Equator.
The system of latitude and longitude coordinates was invented as a means of specifying locations on the earth. Every location on the earth has a unique set of latitude and longitude coordinates, and every possible pair of latitude/longitude numbers you can name is on the earth.Perhaps the best answer to the question is: "All of them."
The special name given to lines of latitude is "parallels," and the special name given to lines of longitude is "meridians." These lines form a grid system that helps in locating any point on the Earth's surface.

For Maps, it is latitude and longitude.
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
0 longitude is the prime meridian. 0 latitude is the equator.
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
Parallels and meridians, respectively.
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
The special name given to lines of latitude is "parallels," and the special name given to lines of longitude is "meridians." These lines form a grid system that helps in locating any point on the Earth's surface.
