North and South America lie wholly in the Western Hemisphere.
Parts of Europe, Africa and Russia also fall within the western hemisphere.
To the west of the Prime Meridian lies the two continents of North and south America.
Africa spreads across the most degrees of longitude, covering approximately 60 degrees from east to west.
The only land that the 140th west meridian crosses belongs to Alaska (North America), some islands of the south Pacific, and Antarctica.
Asia spans the most degrees of longitude, covering approximately 86 degrees from east to west.
The degree of longitude equivalent to east of 5 degrees west longitude is 355 degrees. This is because there are 360 degrees in a full circle, so moving 5 degrees east from 5 degrees west would place you at 355 degrees longitude.
That would be (10 + 30) = 40 degrees west longitude.
