Zero degrees longitude, sometimes called the Greenwich Meridian after the observatory in Greenwich England where the system of latitude and longitude was worked out. The happy accident is that the 180 degree meridian, the International Date Line, is situated in the ocean where it causes relatively little trouble for major land masses.
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.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, and it sits at 0 degrees longitude.
The major line of longitude located at 180 degrees longitude is the International Date Line.
Another name for the line of longitude is a meridian.
The Prime Meridian is the invisible line at zero longitude
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.
The major longitude is the Greenwich meridian. The other is the line of longitude on the opposite side of the earth - more or less the International Date Line. Except that it is not a straight pole-to-pole line.
The line of longitude that Magellan's fleet crossed into the Pacific Ocean was the equator. The other line of longitude crossed was the Tropic of Capricorn.
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.

The International Date Line is located between the prime meridian and 180 degrees west longitude. It serves as the dividing line between two consecutive calendar days and is used as the basis for determining time differences across the world.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, and it sits at 0 degrees longitude.
