Greenwich Meridian: It divides the Earth in two halves from top to bottom: Eastern Hemisphere: The part of the​ (a)   of the ​ (b)   to 180˚ longitude is called the ​ (c)   . Western Hemisphere: The part of the Earth to the ​ (d)   to 180˚ longitude is called the​ (e)   . There are 360 meridians- 180 to the east and 180 to the west of the Prime Meridian. The meridians in the Eastern Hemisphere are marked as ‘E’ and meridians in the Western Hemisphere are marked as ‘W’. The meridian of 180˚ E and meridian of 180˚ W are in the same line. Longitude describes how far east or west a place is located from the Prime Meridian.
