Just draw a line. I stood on the dateline in Greenwich England and it was a white painted line.
The eastern and western hemispheres each measure 180 degrees in longitude. You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' in that range as you feel you need, and to number them appropriately according to the position of each 'line'.
There are an infinite number of points on the earth that have zero latitude.If you draw all of them on a globe, they form the line called the "equator".The Equator.
You need either a globe, or a map that shows the north and south poles. Take a thin rubber band and cut it, to make a thin elastic 'string'. On the map or globe, stretch it between the north and south poles, making sure that it passes just barely to the right (east) of London, England, and also just barely to the right of Accra, Ghana. Have your assistant hold the rubber band in place, while you gently and carefully draw a light pencil line along it, without moving it out of place. The pencil line very nearly marks the Prime Meridian on the map or globe.
On a globe, draw the shortest line you possibly can between the north pole and south pole, and make sure it passes through Greenwich, a suburb of London in England. You can make sure it's the shortest possible line by stretching a rubber band between the north and south poles of the globe. The rubber band will just naturally keep pulling itself shorter and shorter until it can't get any shorter.
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.

The prime meridian divides Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. The Eastern Hemisphere includes Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while the Western Hemisphere includes North and South America.

Each 'side' of the Prime Meridian comprises 180 degrees, for a total of 360 degrees all the way around the Earth just as you would expect. You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' in any of those intervals as you feel are necessary.

There is no such meridian. Each and every one of the infinite number of meridians of longitude lies half in the northern Hemisphere and half in the southern.
180° of longitude are marked off east of the Prime Meridian, and another 180° west of it. You're free to draw in as many reference lines on your map as you'd like. There's no set number of lines, that you have to pick one from when you measure the longitude of a place.

This is an interesting question to answer. Since a compass rose is a figure, actually, you'd draw one, not write one. Since everywhere on earth is north of Antarctica, on a flat map, the design would be easy: place the compass rose at a latitude north of the South Pole where it intersects with the International Date line (or the Prime Meridian), then north, south, east and west all point appropriately. Most maps show Antarctica flattened all across the bottom of the map and don't show Antarctica all the way to 90 degrees South Latitude (nor do they show the Arctic to 90 degrees North Latitude). If Antarctica were the center of the flat map, you'd need multiple compass roses, because of the differences in direction of the International Date Line and the Prime Meridian for east and west. Finally, you wouldn't draw a compass rose at the South Pole, or if you did, all the points would point north.
Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees. Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.
