Just draw a line. I stood on the dateline in Greenwich England and it was a white painted line.

Is the northern hemisphere Prime meridian up to 180 degrees?

No, the Prime Meridian is fixed at 0 degrees longitude, running through Greenwich, London. The 180-degree meridian is the International Date Line, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian.


The is found at 0 longitude?

The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.


How do you draw and label a line of longitude that is of of the prime meridian?

To draw and label a line of longitude that is off the Prime Meridian, you would draw a vertical line on a map connecting the North Pole to the South Pole and label it with the appropriate degrees of longitude East or West of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees). Longitude lines east of the Prime Meridian are labeled with "E," while those west are labeled with "W."


How could you draw the prime meridian?

The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. You can draw the Prime Meridian using a straight line on a map, starting from the top of the map (North Pole) and extending down to the bottom (South Pole), passing through Greenwich, England, which is the location where the Prime Meridian is defined to be 0 degrees longitude.


How many degree lines of longitude are there to the east and west of prime meridian?

The half of the Earth to the east of the Prime Meridian is called the eastern Hemisphere,and its longitudes number from zero to 180° east.The half of the Earth to the west of the Prime Meridian is called the western Hemisphere,and its longitudes number from zero to 180° west.You're free to draw as many or as few lines in those ranges as you want to. Some mapsand globes have no lines. Some are thick with them.
