Why is 0 degrees longitude and 180 degrees longitude not designed east or west?

Answer 1

Because either way it would still be the same. There is only a maximum of 180 degrees longitude. If you move 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west, you will still end up at the same place, so there is no need to designate east or west for it.

Answer 2

Because 0 degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian is a line that goes around the entire globe on longitude 0. [The Prime Meridian is the exact same thing as the Equator, just going up and down instead of left and right.]

Answer 3

0 longitude is not designated East or West for the same reason that the number 0 is not negative nor positive. The 0 meridian It is reference point for defining East or West.

180 longitude is exactly the opposite side of the earth from the Greenwich meridian. It is as far East as it is West so it would not be appropriate to label it as either.

Answer 4

0 degrees longitude passes through Greenwich, London, and is considered the prime meridian from which all other longitudes are measured. 180 degrees longitude is on the opposite side of the earth and is also known as the International Date Line, where the date changes. East and west are defined based on the direction of rotation of the earth, not the specific longitudes.
